Verse 1:

            G
        I looked in the sky where an
 elephant's eye
             Am
        Was looking at me from a 
bubblegum tree

             G
        And all that I knew was the 
hole in my shoe
                   Bb      Eb/Bb 
        Which was letting in water 
Bb
(letting in water)
                                    
         (letting in water)

[repeat 4/4 section of intro]

Verse 2:

        I walked through a field 
that just wasn't real
        With one hundred tin 
soldiers which stood at my shoulder
        And all that I knew was the 
hole in my shoe
        Which was letting in water 
(letting in water)
                                    
         (letting in water)

Bridge:

C        [2X]
/ / / /

        (Narration: I climbed on the
 back of a giant albatross
         What flew through a crack 
in the cloud
         To a place where happiness 
reigned all year round
         And music played ever so 
loudly)

        (mellotron: F#/C tritone, 
lowered gradually to E/Bb over 2 
bars)

Verse 3:

        I started to fall and 
suddenly woke
        And the dew on the grass had
 soaked through my coat
        And all that I knew was the 
hole in my shoe
        Which was letting in water 
(letting in water)
                                    
         (letting in water)

Coda:
