Water Ballerina

D                                   D/F#
across the sand, the stones and the shells
  G                 Em
I went down to the sea
         D                    D/F#     Em
and the golden haired ballerina came down
      G             A
and swam along with me
         D                         D/F#
we were strangers out in the ocean
        G                 Em
somehow shyness stayed ashore
      Bm          F#m    G   F#m
and I watched the ballerina
 Em        A                D
dive and dance down to the floor


      G          D    Em   G      A
ballerina, ballerina, water ballerina
      G          D    Em    A      D   G  D  G  D  G  A
ballerina, ballerina, water ballerina


       D                          D/F#
as the sun went down on the ocean
        G                    Em
and the night our time did steal
     D                     D/F#
we swam on in salty heaven
       Em      G        A
it was too good to be real
     D                          D/F#
so I left her a silver dolphin
       G                     Em
in a place where she could see
        Bm      F#m          G      F#m
so that one day out at her swimming
 Em          A     D
she might remember me


      G          D    Em   G      A
ballerina, ballerina, water ballerina
      G          D    Em    A      D   G  D  G  D  G  A
ballerina, ballerina, water ballerina


D            D/F#          G            Em
water ballerina with such golden curly hair
       Bm      F#m         G     F#m
she is gone now, like the summer
      Em       A          D
to a beach in god knows where
