[Verse 1]
         E                         
My aunt is living in the country in
     D
 a house by the water
D             E           A     
That's the place where I learned
       E  D
 to swim

[Verse 2]
                  A            E  
When the uncle was still living he
                  D
 kept his prize winning chickens
D             E           A     
That looked like waiters in 
     E    D
black & white

[Verse 3]
          E                        
I was sleeping in the attic between
           D
 the preservation bottles

[Verse 4]
           A                  E   
The boys next door were standing 
              D
on a tyre of an aeroplane
D             E         A       
In the middle of the river in 
          E     D
their Sunday suits

[Chorus]
D        E    A           D     
Pelican & Penguin you are 
   E    A
wakening me up
 D           E           A       
[I'm in the middle of dreaming 
              E             D
and you are tearing it apart]?

[Verse 5]
D             E         A       
My uncle he was reading lots of 
D           E  A  E  D
pocket books
D              E           A    
He had one shelf for Penguin and
                      E  D
 one shelf for Pelican

[Verse 6]
             E                     
When he was dead and buried my aunt
     D
 gave me the books
D      E       A              E
She didn't care too much for 
       D
reading

[Verse 7]
D             E               A 
And nowadays when I travel I 
    D            E  A  E  D
always take one of each
D         E     A          
I look at the back and make my 
          D
choice

[Chorus]
D        E    A           D     
Pelican & Penguin you are 
   E    A
wakening me up
 D           E           A       
[I'm in the middle of dreaming 
              E             D
and you are tearing it apart]?
