Standard (EADGBE)

i want to bury you up to your neck in the sand

exposing only your head and one hand

we'll find a friend who will bury me too

so we'll stand in the sand holding hands just me and you

so we'll stand in the sand holding hands, me and you

the crabs will arrive and they'll pick at your face

but I'll whistle so they'll pick at mine in your place

then the gulls will arrive, eat the crabs for their food

so we'll stand in the sand holding hands just me and you

so we'll stand in the sand holding hands, me and you

if the tide takes me away, if the tide takes you away

if the tide takes us away, we'll meet here

in the sand

never fear, just look to the sand

if the waves come in, well we'll both surely drown

but to stay here with you makes me hold my ground

lets just make sure we're buried far enough up the beach

to stand in the sand holding hands you and me

yeah we'll stand in the sand holding hands you and me

if the tide takes me away, if the tide takes you away

if the tide takes us away, we'll meet here

in the sand

never fear, just look to the sand

ill be here just look to the sand

and my sunburnt hand
