Picking Pattern T-1-2-T-1-2 (Thumb, Index finger, Middle Finger) [Intro] D D/A D D/A [Verse]
   D        D/A
He made his way

    D          D/A
and hoped someday

     D         D/A   D
he'd find someone to love.

   D      D/A
He sees a girl

    D       D/A
Her tail is curled

   D     D/A       D
He swims across to her.

           A#maj7       C
But he's a seahorse, of course

          D
Surely he knows

               A#maj7      C
When you're a seahorse, of course

              D
That's how it goes.

     D          D/A
They meet, they mate

    D           D/A
and things, are great

    D    D/A   D
But only for a while.

   D        D/A
He wakes at dawn

   D          D/A
He sees she's gone

    D         D/A     D
Somehow, he's not surprised.
[Verse]
             A#maj7       C
Cause he's a seahorse, of course

          D
Surely he knows.

              A#maj7       C
When you're a seahorse, of course

              D
That's how it goes.

        G                     D
But the waves above go up and down

    Em7             D
The big fish circle all around.

     G                 D
It's hard and cold and dark and mean

    F            G
And he’s so very small

 D      D/A
Alone, afraid,

    D       D/A
His plans unmade,

   D          D/A   D
He helped his young survive.

   D         D/A
He makes his way

    D         D/A
And hopes someday

      D        D/A    D
He'll find someone to love.

           A#maj7       C
But he's a seahorse, of course

          D
Surely he knows

               A#maj7      C
When you're a seahorse, of course

              D
That's how it goes.
