[F#m] Runner in [Gm] the [F#m7] dip

[Ab] Oh the little [B] rocks lay [Bbm7] low on the [Abm] tideline

[F#m] Sailing bells [Gm] are [F#m7] hung
[F#m] Bushes on [Gm] the [Cdim] sdrum

And the [G6] cat moves on [F#7] down the Med [B] way

Oh the [Bbm7] little ones (the little ones)
The [B7] little ones (the little ones)
