Verse:
(R)D       (R)A7sus4
He makes   his way
(R)D       (R)A7sus4
He hopes   someday
(R)D       (R)A7sus4
He’ll find someone
(R)D       A7sus4 (chord)
to love

He sees a girl
Her tail is curled
He swims up close to her

Chorus:
           Bb       C
But he’s a seahorse of course
          Dmaj7
Surely he knows
              Bb       C 
When you’re a seahorse of course
              Dmaj7
That’s how it goes

They meet, they mate
And things are great
But only for a while

He wakes at dawn
He knows she’s gone
Somehow he’s not surprised

Cause he’s a seahorse of course
Surely he knows
When you’re a seahorse of course
That’s how it goes

Bridge:
        G              D/F#
And the waves above go up and down
    G (or G/E)      D/F#
The big fish circle all around
     G                 D/F#
It’s hard and cold and dark and mean
    F            G
And he’s so very small

Alone, afraid
His plans unmade
He helps his young survive

He makes his way
He hopes someday
To find someone to love

But he’s a seahorse of course
Surely he knows
When you’re a seahorse of course
That’s how it goes
