[Verse 1] Am - Dm - F - Am
Am                     Dm
Down in the Sabine, there lived a lobster named Fred

F                                 Am
He'd crawl along the muddy banks, his shell as blue as lead

Am                              Dm
He was a creature of the water, a lonely soul it seemed

F                              Am
But Fred had a secret passion, one that he'd always dreamed
Am Dm F Am [Chorus] Dm - F - Am - Em
Dm                 F
Oh Fred, oh Fred, your heart beats wild and free
Am. Em In the depths of the River, you long to be
Dm                                   F
But fate has dealt you a cruel hand, a lobster without a mate

Am                Em
Oh Fred, oh Fred, it's never too late
Dm F Am Em [Verse 2] Am - Dm - F - Am
Am                                 Dm
Fred would watch the fish swim by, their scales like glistening jewels

F                         Am
He envied their freedom, their effortless grace and cool

Am                                   Dm
But Fred had something they did not, a yearning deep inside

F                                    Am
He dreamed of finding love one day, and making someone his bride
Am Dm F Am [Chorus] Dm - F - Am - Em
Dm                   F
Oh Fred, oh Fred, your heart beats wild and free

Am                            Em
In the depths of the Sabine, you long to be

Dm                                   F
But fate has dealt you a cruel hand, a lobster without a mate

Am                Em
Oh Fred, oh Fred, it's never too late
Dm F Am Em [Bridge] F - Em - Am - F
F                        Em
The nights grew longer, and Fred grew tired of being alone

Am                                       F
He searched the riverbeds high and low, but never found his own

F                                Em
But then one day, a ray of hope, a glimmer in the dark

Am                        F
A lobsterette named Lucy, who stole his lonely heart
F Em Am F [Chorus] Dm - F - Am - Em
Dm                 F
Oh Fred, oh Fred, your heart beats wild and free

Am                                 Em
In the depths of the Sabine River, you long to be

Dm                                   F
But fate has dealt you a cruel hand, a lobster without a mate

Am                Em
Oh Fred, oh Fred, it's never too late
Dm F Am Em [Outro] F - Em - Am - F
F                                 Em
Now Fred and Lucy crawl together, along the Sabine River's edge

Am                                             F
Their claws held tight, their hearts entwined, like a storybook romance

F                              Em
They may be just two lobsters, in a river far away

Am                                   F
But to Fred and Lucy, it's paradise, where they'll forever stay.
