E-riff G
I really love you, and I mean you
E-riff G A
The star above you, crystal blue
D E? A
Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you

C? G?

I wouldn't see you, and I love to
I fly above you, yes I do
Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you

C? G? G#?

A
Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
A
The fins a luminous

C? G? Bb? E+

A
Fangs all 'round the clown is dark
A
Below the boulders hiding
C? G? E+
All the sunlight's good for us

Cause we're the fishes and all we do
The move about is all we do
Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you

Not entirely correct, but pretty close I think. Fool around a bit with the pinky on the e and b strings for added effect. And improvise.
