Verse 1
D 
On Dollymount Strand
A 
on a cold winter's night
I put on the handbrake
and switched out the light
D 
A 
I looked at me bird and says aye,
are you right?
D 
Me self and the architect's daughter
A 
D 
But the sea, oh the sea, it crept up on me
A 
And the water was rising up quite rapidly
D 
Says I to the moth,
A 
get your hand off me knee
D 
Can't you see we're surrounded by water
A 
I turned on the ignition and put it in gear
Could I get it moving,
let's hope not a fear
D 
Not if I was there for the
A 
next bloody year
D 
There was sand in the old carburettor
A 
D 
The sea, oh the sea, it crept up on me
A 
And the water was rising up quite rapidly
D 
Says I to the mud,
A 
get your hand off me knee
Can't you see we're
D 
A 
D 
A 
surrounded by water
D 
A 
With water the car was soon filled to the brim
I said to the mother, the chances are slim
D 
So love, get them off here,
A 
we'll both have to swim
D 
So I let down the window and starboard
A 
D 
The sea, oh the sea, it crept up on me
A 
And the water was rising up quite rapidly
D 
So tie to the knot,
A 
get your hand off me knee
Can't you see we're
D 
surrounded by water
So if ever you go down to
A 
Dollymount Strand
Make sure that the tide's out
and everything's planned
D 
For the burn in the bush
A 
is worth two in the sand,
D 
regardless to what you were after
A 
D 
The sea, the sea, it crept up on me,
A 
and the water was rising
Em 
A 
up quite rapidly
D 
Says I to the man,
A 
get your hand off me knee,
can't you see we're
D 
surrounded by water you
