I fell into the ocean  and you became my wife
G7           F#7                             Bm
 I risked it all against the sea to have a better life
           Em               A7           D
Marie you are the wild blue sky, men do foolish things
G7              F#7                        Bm
 You turn kings into beggars and beggars into kings

Pretend that you owe me nothing and all the world is green
G                      D                   A7               D  
 We can bring back the old days again when all the world is green
