[Verse 1]
Eb Ab
Counting ships on the sea
Eb Ab
Collecting numbers in the breeze
Eb G Cm Bb
Of every lazy wave of water on the shore
Ab Eb Bb
In summer sky what man could ask for more
[Verse 2]
Eb Ab
Digging holes in the sand
Eb Ab
In search of some forgotten land
Eb Bb G Cm Bb
Just in case I may discover something there
Ab
I could tell the busy world
Eb Bb
But I don't think a busy world would care
[Chorus]
Ab Bb7
I'm just a man, an ordinary man
Cm Eb Ab
With a handful of sand, and a dream
Eb
Strange as it may seem
Ab Eb
I'm an ordinary man
Bb7
That's all I am
[Verse 3]
Eb Ab
I'm counting ships on the sea
Eb Ab
I'm still collecting numbers in the breeze
Eb G Cm Bb
Of every lazy wave of water on the shore
Ab Eb Bb
In summer sky what man could ask for more
[Verse 4]
Eb Ab
Digging holes in the sand
Eb Ab
In search of my forgotten buried land
Eb G Cm Bb
It's just in case I may discover something there
Ab
I could tell the busy world
Eb Bb
But I don't think a busy world, they would care
[Chorus]
Ab Bb
I'm just a man, an ordinary man
Cm Eb Ab
With a handful of sand, and a dream
Eb
Strange as it may seem
Ab Eb
Strange as it may seem
Ab Eb
Strange as it may seem
Ab Bb Eb
I'm an ordinary man
[Outro]
