Mr Sunfish

F                Am
Oh, Mister Sunfish
    Bb            F
Oh, Mister ocean fish
        Dm
Drift away
        C
Drift away
    Bb              C
And lie below the shining rays
F            Am
You swim so slowly
     Bb          C      F
Your life seems so carefree
         Dm                   Am
Floating through the sunlight zone
        Bb     C   F
Feeling happy all alone

( F  Am  Bb  C  F )
( Dm  Am  Gm  C  F )

[Verse]

F           Am
Oh, Mister Sunfish
    Bb      C     F
Oh, Mister ocean fish
        Dm
Drift away
         Am
Drift away
    Bb             C
And lie below the shining rays
F              Am
Don't you feel lonely
    Bb              F
And don't you feel unseen?
     Dm        Am
I do envy you a bit
        Gm    C       F
How you never seem to quit

[Pre-Chorus]

    Bb              C             
You seem to always try to take 
   F
your time
      Gm                C         
While staying silent in the ocean 
Dm
brine
      Bb            F
Oh, I wish I could relate
     Bb        A     Dm
To a fish without a tail
        Bb                       
But the sunrise somehow washes me 
  Bbm
awake

[Chorus]

    F                Am
Good morning, Mister Sunfish
       Bb        C        F
Please teach me all your ways
      Dm              Am
How to live without a wish
       Bb            C
How to swim away my days

Good morning, Mister Sunfish
      A                  Dm   F
'Cause although you seem gray
  Bb                 F
I know that you can flourish
       Gm        C       F
In the sea where you'll decay

( F  Am  Bb  C  F )
( Dm  Am  Gm  C  F )

[Verse]

F           Am
Oh, Mister Sunfish
    Bb     C     F
Oh, Mister ocean fish
        Dm
Tell me why
        Am
Tell me why
    Bb            C
The waters never seem to dry
F             Am
It sounds so cozy
   Bb          C   F
To dwell the seven seas
          Dm        Am
Don't you ever feel upset?
          Gm          C    F
Are there things that you regret?

[Pre-Chorus]

    Bb              C             
You seem to always try to take 
   F
your time

  Bb                 F
I know that you can flourish
       Gm        C      F
In the sea where you'll decay

[Bridge]

     Bb                   C     
I've always thought that you were 
   F
unaware
   Gm                 C           
Of cliffs and canyons from below 
   Dm
the air
  Bb               C
I never knew that you have your own
Dm  C   Bbm
Endless skies

   Gm          Bb
So maybe I was ignorant
    Am              C             
And you're not very different, 
   D
after all

Mr. Sunfish, tell me more

[Chorus]

     G               Em
Good morning, Mister Sunfish
       C        D        G
Please teach me all your ways
        Em                 Am
Tell me all the things you wish
        C                 D
Tell me how you swim your days
     C               D
Good morning, Mister Sunfish
       B7                Em
'Cause although you seem gray
  C                 G
I know that you can flourish
       Am        D      G
In the sea where you'll decay

[Outro]

     G               Em
Good morning, Mister Sunfish
     C      D     G
(Oh, Mister ocean fish)

(Drift away)
       Am
(Drift away)
     C             D
(And lie below the shining rays)
     C                D
Good morning, Mister Sunfish
     B7            Em
(Oh, Mister ocean fish)
  C                 G
I know that you can flourish
       Am        D      G
In the sea where you'll decay
    C                  G
And although I've lost courage
         Am        D  G
When the winds led me astray
  C                 G
I know that you can flourish
       Am      D   G
So, maybe I'll be okay
