Tom: Am

C         Em     C            Em
Under the ocean, far from the sun
C              Em
Penny Rabbit, wondering
C             Em          F
"When will we ever become one?
                     C       Em C Em
Must I suffer days to come?"
C            Em      C             Em
Fresh out of wishes, fate wouldn't dare
C                 Em
He had to see his Summer Bear
C             Em                F
Filled up his little lungs with air
                           C    Em C Em
It didn't matter, he didn't care

C Em C Em
Em     D#m 
Dm   G 
C Em C Em

[Verse 2]
C             Em       C            Em
Faithless and mystic, faint as can be
C            Em
Penny Rabbit floated fast
C           Em            F
Planted his paws upon the shore
                      C      Em C Em
Many others had failed before
C           Em
Waiting was Summer Bear
C           Em   C              Em
Eyes to the sea, fingers on her violin
C           Em              F
Playing for butterflies and bees
                     C     Em C Em
A little shaky at the knees


[Chorus]
Am (Em) C             F       C
Summer Bear with that slender hair
        F
And that smile she sent to me
    G
It's more than I can bear, wondering
Am (Em)    C            F       C
"When will you have the courage to
Dm                      G        C      Em C Em
Sing a song with me and you over here?"

C Em x2

[Verse 3]
C             Em             C              Em
On the shore, Penny Rabbit emerged from the sea
C           Em                       C
His fur was ripped from his journey
        Em                 F
"Summer Bear, I've come for thee"
                     C     Em C Em
He had seen it in his dream
C       Em             C           Em
Sunset, holding hands, salt in the air
C             Em            C
Penny Rabbit, Summer Bear
       Em              F
A fairy tale, a perfect pair
                        C   Em C Em
None in memory could compare


[Chorus]
Am (Em) C             F       C
Summer Bear with that slender hair
        F
And that smile she sent to me
    G
It's more than I can bear, wondering
Am (Em)    C            F       C
"When will you have the courage to
Dm                      G
Sing a song with me and you?
Dm                        E        F
Come to you, whatever you do, anywhere"


[Outro]
C           Em  D#m
Summer Bear
Dm            G
One day, very soon
Dm          G
Once upon a moon
Dm             G
One day, very soon
