[Verse 1]
A
She woke me up with a bang, bang Looking' over cross eyed had a big
Esus4
Hunch that the world was a big lie
A
When I got up all the blood to my head
Esus4
I got so dizzy fell back into my bed
A
I went over to the way side Looking for the high tide
Esus4
What will I find will I find will I find
A
All I saw was a man that had a hat
Esus4
That had a pom-pom he's been there for
Years can someone tell me how long
[Chorus]
A Esus4
Wake up to tell me
A Esus4
Wake up to show me what I could not find
A Esus4

A Esus4

[Verse 2]
A
You see this woman woke me up at a quarter to three
Esus4
And I didn't know it then But she put a spell on me
A
Said I had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea
Esus4
And meet an old man to present my plea
A
So I headed way down to the big pier (big pier)
Esus4
To await and confront my big fear (big fear)
A
I wheeled around behind to my blindside
Esus4
To find an old man with a lime and a kind eye
A
Said mister, mister with your beard so long
Esus4
Won't you be a saint and tell me Just where I'm going
A
He pointed to a conk shell and then to the lime
Esus4
And said this is all I really need to get by
[Chorus]
A Esus4
Wake up to tell me
A Esus4
Wake up to show me what I could not find
A Esus4
Wake up to tell me
A Esus4
Wake up to show me what I could not find

I got booked last night, I need another fix, dig
A
Yeah, just then I see a twinkle twinkle
Esus4
In the old man's eye and a wave Tossed bottle is thrown to the sky
A
I caught it on the rebound
It landed with a soft sound
Esus4
I took out the message and put the bottle down
A
Inside was the antidote to the spell
Esus4
And I read it to the man 'cause he couldn't read so well
A
Said don't worry bout a thing you know you path is true
Esus4
Just ease your mind have a banana or two
A
Well goodness, goodness, woe is me
Esus4
The man nearly flipped to learn that he was free
A
But just before we Left and started kicking it (kicking it)
Esus4
I picked up the bottle and star sixed it
A
Kick kick shuffle shuffle back to the beach
Esus4
With a tune on my lips and my quest in reach
A
If that woman comes to you with her song so sweet
Esus4
Say damn, let the poor sucker sleep
A
Let him sleep
