Verse 1:    My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away
        E                (organ fill: E A/E E7 (no3) A/E )
There's so much to say
   E        C        D               A
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
        E
And it cannot rejoice
 A         /G     D/F#       Esus4
Wanting to be, to hear and to see
 A     /G        D/F#
Crying    to the sky
         E          E7/D        A/C#       D
But the porpoise is laughing goodbye, goodbye
 G                     D  (vocals imply Dsus2 )
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Break:        (bass, doubled w/strings)

Verse 2:    Clicks, clacks, riding the backs of giraffes for laughs
Is all right for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings and things
That go with a life of style
Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living    is a lie
The porpoise is waiting, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

 G                     D
Coda:        Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
 G                    Bm   (45 ends cold)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
