Intro
B B E7 E7 G G C7 C7 A A F#7 F#7 B7 B7

B B E7 E7 G G C7 C7 A A
Trip to heave and ho, up, down, to and fro', you have no word
B B A A
trip, trip to a dream dragon
B B A A
hide your wings in a ghost tower
B B A A B B
sails cackling at every plate we brake
B B Bb Bb
was cracked by scattered needles
A A
the little minute gong coughs and clears his throat
A A
madam you see before you stand, hey, ho, never be still
A A
the old original favorite grand grasshoppers green Herbarian band
A A F#7 F#7
and the tune they play is "In us Confide"

B B E7 E7 G G C7 C7 A A
So trip to heave and ho, up, down, to and fro', you have no word
F# F# B B
please leave us here
F# F# B B B7 B7 E E
close our eyes to the Octopus ride


E E F F F# F# G G
Isn't it good to be lost in the wood
G G G# G#
Isn't it bad so quiet there, in the wood
A A D D
meant even less to me than I thought
A A D D
with a honey plough yellow prickly seeds
A A D D F#7 F#7
clover honey pots and mystic shining feed...


B B E7 E7
well, the madcap laughed at the man on the border
G G C7 C7
hey, ho, huff the talbot
B B A A
cheat! he cried, shouted kangaroo
B B A A
it's true in their tree he cried
F# F# B B
please leave us here
F# F# B B B7 B7 E E
close our eyes to the Octopus ride


Instrumental passage: F# F#



F# F# B B
please leave us here
F# F# B B B7 B7 E E
close our eyes to the Octopus ride


B B A A
the madcap laughed at the man on the border
B B A A
hey, ho, huff the talbot
B B A A
the winds they blew and the leaves did wag
B B A A
and they'll never put me in their bag
B B A A
the raging seas will always seep
B B A A
so high you go, so low you creep
B B A A
the wind it blows in tropical heat
B B A A
the drones they throng on mossy seats
B B A A
the squeaking door will always squeak
B B A A
two up, two down will never meet
B B A A
so merrily trip for good my side

F# F# B B
please leave us here
F# F# B B B7 B7 E E
close our eyes to the Octopus ride


Outro: E E F F F# F# G G
