B          A         E         B         
maggie and milly and molly and may

     A           E (hold)            B
went down to the beach (one day...to play)

    B      A            G#m        A 
and maggie discovered a shell that sang

   G#m         A        E            B
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles, 

B          A         E         B         
maggie and milly and molly and may

B          A         E         B         
maggie and milly and molly and may
and
B     A            G#m      A
milly befriended a stranded star

      G#m         A         G#m                A       E (big strum)
whose rays, whose rays            five languid fingers were;

B          A         E         B         
maggie and milly and molly and may

B          A         E         B         
maggie and milly and molly and may

    F#m       E           Bm        C#            
and molly was chased by a horrible thing

      C#m?            B              E             A  
which raced sideways, blowing .......blowing.......blowing: and

E(bar)   G#m         A            E
may came home with a smooth round stone

              A            G#m      C#m
as small as a world and as large as alone.

    E(bar)      G#m          A        E(bar)
For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)

     E      A              G#m            C#m
it's always ourselves that we find in the sea
