[/tab]\r\n[tab]                             [ch]G[/ch]\r\nHe sat by the windowsill and dreamed until the day went still, [/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]D[/ch]                               [ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd in the dark he'd dream a little more. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nThen, one day, there came along [/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]D[/ch]                                  [ch]Am[/ch]                                       [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nA girl who sang a pretty song with a freckled face; she called herself Marie. [/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]C[/ch]\r\nShe said \"Hey 'Gill you wouldn't believe [/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]G[/ch]                  \r\nWhat lies out there beyond those trees [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nWould you let me take you out to see?\" [/tab]\r\n\r\n[Chorus 1]\r\n[tab]   [ch]C[/ch]                     [ch]G[/ch]                              \r\nSo pack up your bags and fly, [/tab]\r\n[tab]                [ch]C[/ch]                 [ch]G[/ch]\r\nYou've got some living before you die. [/tab]\r\n[tab]              [ch]C[/ch]                     [ch]G[/ch]\r\nI've got this feeling, don't ask me why, [/tab]\r\n[tab]             [ch]D[/ch]                 [ch]C[/ch]\r\nDon't ask me why, don't ask me why.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse]\r\n[tab]     [ch]G[/ch]\r\nSo Marie and 'Gill, they took to the hills [/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAnd climbed a hundred miles until they [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]                                  [ch]C[/ch]\r\nFound a spot where they could be at ease.                [/tab]\r\nIt was the highest point that they could see, \r\n[tab]     [ch]G[/ch]\r\nRose far above the tallest trees, [/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]D[/ch]                              [ch]C[/ch]\r\nSo naturally they became king and queen. [/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]G[/ch]\r\nBut before they'd laid their regal grounds, [/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]D[/ch]\r\nThe sky had darkened all around, [/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]Em[/ch]                               [ch]C[/ch]\r\nThe heavens broke, and rain began to fall. [/tab]\r\nThe lightening cracked, the thunder clapped, \r\n[tab]    [ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd soon the king and queen were trapped [/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]D[/ch]                            [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nOn an island sinking in the rising flood. [/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]G[/ch]\r\nWell poor Marie, she said, \"The end's begun!
