Octopus Syd Barrett
I'm sure this is correct, complete with lyrics.
[B]Trip to [E7]heave and [G]ho, up dow[C7]n, to and fro
[A]You have no word
[B]Trip, trip to a dre[A]am dragon
[B]Hide your wings in a g[A]host tower
[B]Sails cackling at every[A] plate we break
[B]What was cracked by scatte[Bb]red needles
[A]The little minute gong coughs and clears his throat
Madam you see before you stand
Hey ho, never be still
The old original favorite grand
Grasshoppers green Herbarian band
And the tune they play is "In[F#7] Us Confide"
[B]So trip to h[E7]eave and [G]ho, up down, [C7]to and fro
[A]You have no word
[F#]Please leave us[B] here
[F#]Close our e[B]yes to the o[B7]ctopus ri[E]de!
[E]Isn't it g[F]ood to be l[F#]ost in t[G]he wood
[G]Isn't it bad so quiet there, in the wood
[A]Meant even less to me than [D]I thought
[A]With a honey plow of yellow[D] prickly seeds
[A]Clover honey pots and mysti[D]c shini[F#7]ng feed
[B]Well the madcap laughed at the m[E7]an on the border
[G]Hey, ho, huff the[C7] Talbot
[B]Cheat he cried shouting[A] kangaroo
[B]So true in their tree they[A] cried
[F#]Please leave u[B]s here
[F#]Close our ey[B]es to the oc[B7]topus ri[E]de!
[F#]
[F#]please leave us [B]here
[F#]close our ey[B]es to the Oc[B7]topus ri[E]de
[B]The madcap laughed at the m[A]an on the border
[B]Hey ho, huff the[A] Talbot
[B]The winds they blew and the [A]leaves did wag
[B]But they'll never put me in [A]their bag
The seas will reach and always see
So high you go, so low you creep
The wind it blows in tropical heat
The drones they throng on mossy seats
The squeaking door will always squeak
Two up, two down will never meet
So merrily trip for forgo my side
[F#]Please leave us[B] here
[F#]Close our e[B]yes to the o[B7]ctopus r[E]ide!
