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