You lying Cso low in the weedsE  
I Cbet you gonna ambush meE  
You'd have me Ddown, down, down, down on my Aknees

[Verse 2]
EBack over time when we were all trying for Cfree

No right, no wrong; selling a song - a Cname
Whisper Egame

And if the Creal thing don't do the trickE  
You better Cmake up something quickE  
You gonna Dburn, burn, burn, burn it to the Awick
N.C.       E  
Oooh, Barracuda?
[Bridge]
"CSell me sell you" the porpoise said
ADive down deep, now.  Save my head. You .E..
I think that you got the blues too
CAll that night and all the next
ASwam without looking back
Made for the western Epools - silly, silly fools
[Chorus]
And if the Creal thing don't do the trickE  
You better Cmake up something quickE  
You gonna Dburn, burn, burn, burn it to the Awick
Oooh, BarraEcuda?

So this ain't the end - I saw you again today

[Verse 2]

E C

Back over time when we were all trying for free

you met up with porpoise and me

No right, no wrong; selling a song - a name

Whisper game

[Chorus]

And if the real thing don't do the trick

C E

You better make up something quick

You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick

N.C.

Oooh, Barracuda?

[Bridge]

"Sell me sell you" the porpoise said

Dive down deep, now. Save my head. You ...

I think that you got the blues too

All that night and all the next

Swam without looking back

Made for the western pools - silly, silly fools

[Chorus]

C E

And if the real thing don't do the trick

C E

You better make up something quick

D A

You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick
