[Verse sequence] Bm Em A7 D I fell into the ocean and you became my wife G7 F#7 Bm I risked it all against the sea to have a better life Em A7 D Marie you are the wild blue sky, men do foolish things G7 F#7 Bm You turn kings into beggars and beggars into kings [Chorus sequence] G D A7 D Pretend that you owe me nothing and all the world is green G D A7 D We can bring back the old days again when all the world is green [Solo sequence] The song changes key to C minor for the clarinet solo. The walking bass line on A is replaced with A|-1-2- to lead you into C minor. The solo sequence is played exactly the same as the verse sequence except that it is moved up 1 semitone (1 fret). Stay in C minor for the last verse.
