Pearly Shells
Recorded Burl Ives
Written by John Kalapana-Leonpobar
CPearly Shells from the ocean
Shining in the Fsun covering the Dshore G7  
When I Csee them my heart Ftells me that I love you
More than Call the G7little pearly Cshells F  C  
For every G7grain of sand upon the beach
I’ve Cgot a kiss for you
And I've got G7more left over
for each star that D7twinkles in the G7blue
Pearly CShells from the ocean
shining in the Fsun covering the Dshore G7  
When I Csee them my heart Ftells me that I love you
More than Call the G7little pearly Cshells
For every G7grain of sand upon the beach
I Cgot a kiss for you
And I've got G7more left over
for each star that D7twinkles in the G7blue
Pearly CShells from the ocean
shining in the Fsun covering the Dshore G7  
When I Csee them my heart Ftells me that I love you
More than Call the G7little pearly Cshells
More than Call the G7little pearly Cshells
