Once a boy named Mister Me bemoaned a great regret

     F            -   Bb             Gm     -        Bb

I've floundered in the misty sea, but can't abide its mystery

  C        -        F

I wound up sad, you bet

(INTRO RIFF)


(Verse riff)
So onward go and Edward Ho into the bounding main
Enjoy the show look out below but mind the misty sea
Or end up sad like Mister Me

            F

He ended up sad

            -

He ended up sad

            -                      Dm

He ended up really, really, really sad

            Bb

He ended up sad

            Gm

He ended up sad

            Bb              C      F

He ended up really, really, really sad

(INTRO RIFF)

(VERSE RIFF)
So take the hand of Mister Me and mister, make him glad
To swim the Mister Misty Sea and cease the Mister Mystery
That mister, made him sad

He ended up sad
He ended up sad
He ended up really, really, really sad
He ended up sad
He ended up sad
He ended up really, really, really sad

(Louder and more bombastic):
He ended up sad
He ended up sad
He ended up really, really, really sad
He ended up sad
He ended up sad
He ended up really, really, really sad
