 Intro:   G  Gsus4  G  Gsus2

 G             Gsus4         G                   Gsus2           G  Gsus4  G  Gsus2
 Down at the shore there's a place where there's no one vacationing
                    G           Gsus4        G       Gsus2
 there's just the sound of the call of the wild overcoming the
 A             G#
 fear of the unknown

              C#m /   F#           C#m / F#
 and I've got something to help you understand
           E  /  A       C#m   /   G#
 something waiting there beneath the sand:
 C#m / F#    C#m  / F#   C#m   /      F#        C#m /  F#
   My metal detector         is with me all of the time
 E    A     C#m     B        E    A   C#m   B
  I'm the inspector over the mine

 A
  Look past the volleyball
 E
  Look past the squawking gull
G#           A              F#            G#
   Ignore the mountain of discarded folderol

 and I've got something to make you understand
 something hidden there underneath the land:
 My metal detector is with me all of the time
 I'm the inspector over the mine
 E   A    C#m     B        E     A   C#m   B
  Metal detector: watch it shine

 G             Gsus4         G                   Gsus2           G  Gsus4  G  Gsus2
 Every seashell has a story to tell if you're listening
            G           Gsus4        G       Gsus2
 but underneath every shell there's a story as well if you've
 A                    D
 heard enough of the sea
           G             Gsus4         G        Gsus2        G  Gsus4  G  Gsus2
 then everything on the top will just suddenly stop seeming interesting
            G           Gsus4        G       Gsus2               G    G    G#    G#
 so listen now to the sound of the things that are found under the ground

 E   A    C#m     B        E     A   C#m   B

 Don't need no volleyball
 Don't need no squawking gull
 Don't need to look at any bathing beauty doll

 for I've got something to help you understand
 something waiting there beneath the sand:
 My metal detector is with me all of the time
 I'm the inspector over the mine
 
 Look past the volleyball
 Look past the squawking gull
 Ignore the mountain of discarded folderol
 
 Cause I've got something to help you understand
 something hidden there beneath the sand:
 My metal detector is with me all of the time
 I'm the inspector over the mine
 Metal detector: watch it shine

 Don't need no volleyball
 Don't need no squawking gull
 E   A    C#m    B       E     A   C#m   B
 Metal detector all the time

 Ending: C#m
