[Intro]
 A   G   D(x2)
[Verse 1]
ALet's take a ride to the seasideG  
We can go out Dswimming in the high tide
AJust wear your shorts and your long hairG  
DDon't forget the lawn chairA  G  D  
[Verse 2]
AEverybody's gone to the moviesG  
Everybody's Dgone and it's groovy
AThey went to the one about the big warG  
I didn't, I'd Dseen it before
[Chorus]
DI guess I'm taking my chances
Giving up the ring, throwing in the Agloves
DI guess I'm taking my chances
Trading in my things, for a couple F#mwings, on a little white Ddove
And one big love, one big Alove       G  DOne big AloveG  D  
[Verse 3]
AEverybody do like a monkeyG  
If you want to go Don and be funky
ANo need to talk like a heroG  
Take a walk and Dcount down to zero
[Verse 4]
ANo sense defending your honourG  
Just go on and Dkiss him if you want to
AEverything before is gone
Or is Dgoing somewhere
[Chorus]
DI guess I'm taking my chances
Giving up the ring, throwing in the Agloves
DI guess I'm taking my chances
Trading in my things, for a couple F#mwings, on a little white Ddove
And one big AloveG,  Done big AloveG  D  
[Bridge]
EI don't know where we are and F#mI don't Dcare
EAnd now we're out of gas and Driding on Gair
And one big AloveG,  Done big AloveG  D  
[Chorus]
ALet's take a ride to the seasideG  
We can go out Dswimming in the high tide   AOne big Glove,  Done big Alove
AEverybody's gone to the moviesG  
Everybody's Dgone and it's groovy          AOne big Glove,  Done big Alove
AEverybody do like a monkeyG  
If you want to go Don and be funky         AOne big Glove,  Done big Alove
ANo need to talk like a heroG  
Take a walk and Dcount down to zero        AOne big Glove,  Done big Alove
ANo sense defending your honourG  
Just go on and Dkiss him if you want to    AOne big Glove,  Done big Alove
[Outro]
One big Glove,  Done big Alove  (REPEAT TO FADE)
