(C) I'd like to be 
(Am) Under the sea 
In an (F) octopus's garden 
In the (G) shade

(C) He'd let us in 
(Am) Knows where we've been 
In his (F) octopus's garden 
In the (G) shade

(Am) I'd ask my friends to come and see 
(F) An octopus's (G) garden with me

(C) I'd like to be 
(Am) Under the sea 
In an (F) octopus's garden 
In the (C) shade

We would be warm (Am) below the storm 
In our (F) little hideaway beneath the (G) waves 
(C) Resting our head (Am) on the seabed 
In an (F) octopus's garden near a (G) cave

(Am) We would sing and dance around 
(F) Because we know, we (G) can't be found

(C) I'd like to be 
(Am) Under the sea 
In an (F) octopus's (G) garden 
In the (C) shade
 
Bridge/solo

(C) We would shout and (Am) swim about 
The (F) coral that lies beneath the waves (lies beneath the ocean waves) 
(C) Oh, what joy for (Am) every girl and boy 
(F) Knowing they're happy, and they're (G) safe (happy, and they're safe)

(Am) We would be so happy, you and me 
(F) No one there to tell us what to do (G-G-G-G)

(C) I'd like to be 
(Am) under the sea 
In an (F) octopus's (G) garden with (Am) you

In an (F) octopus's (G) garden with (Am) you 
In an (F) octopus's (G) garden with (C) you
