Intro:
F           Am
Oh, Mister Sunfish
    Bb     C     F
Oh, Mister ocean fish
       Dm
Drift away
        C
Drift away
    Bb             C
And lie below the shining rays
F            Am
You swim so slowly
     Bb         C      F
Your life seems so carefree
         Dm                  Am
Floating through the sunlight zone
        Bb    C    F
Feeling happy all alone

Instrumental:
   F Am Bb C F
   Dm Am Gm C F

Verse:
F          Am
Oh, Mister Sunfish
    Bb     C     F
Oh, Mister ocean fish
       Dm
Drift away
       Am
Drift away
    Bb             C
And lie below the shining rays
F              Am
Don't you feel lonely
    Bb         C    F
And don't you feel unseen?
     Dm        Am
I do envy you a bit
        Gm     C      F
How you never seem to quit

Pre-chorus:
    Bb             C                 F
You seem to always try to take your time
      Gm             C            Dm
While staying silent in the ocean brine
      Bb              F
Oh, I wish I could relate
     Bb     A       Dm
To a fish without a tail
        Bb                       Bbm
But the sunrise somehow washes me awake

Chorus:
     F                Am
Good morning, Mister Sunfish
       Bb       C        F
Please teach me all your ways
      Dm               Am
How to live without a wish
       Bb          C
How to swim away my days
     Bb          C
Good morning, Mister Sunfish
      A                    Dm C
'Cause although you seem gray
  Bb                  F
I know that you can flourish
       Gm         C     F
In the sea where you'll decay

Instrumental:
   F Am Bb C F
   Dm Am Gm C F

Verse:
F            Am
Oh, Mister Sunfish
    Bb     C     F
Oh, Mister ocean fish
        Dm
Tell me why
       Am
Tell me why
    Bb                  C
The waters never seem to dry
F            Am
It sounds so cozy
   Bb         C     F
To dwell the seven seas
          Dm         Am
Don't you ever feel upset?
          Gm           C   F
Are there things that you regret?

Pre-chorus:
    Bb              C                 F
You seem to always try to take your time
      Gm              C          Dm
While staying silent in the ocean brine
      Bb            F
Oh, I wish I could relate
     Bb        A     Dm
To a fish without a tail
        Bb                        Bbm
But the sunrise somehow washes me awake

Chorus:
     F              Am
Good morning, Mister Sunfish
       Bb                 F
Please teach me all your ways
       Dm            Am
How to live without a wish
       Bb            C
How to swim away my days
     Bb                  C
Good morning, Mister Sunfish
       A                   Dm C
'Cause although you seem gray
  Bb                F
I know that you can flourish
       Gm         C      F
In the sea where you'll decay

Bridge:
     Bb                   C        F
I've always thought that you were unaware
   Gm                  C            Dm
Of cliffs and canyons from below the air
  Bb                     C
I never knew that you have your own
Dm  C   Bb
endless skies
   Gm
So maybe I was ignorant
    Am                C                D
And you're not very different, after all

Mr. Sunfish, tell me more

Chorus:
     G                Bm
Good morning, Mister Sunfish
       C         D        G
Please teach me all your ways
        Em                Bm
Tell me all the things you wish
        C                  D
Tell me how you swim your days
     C                D
Good morning, Mister Sunfish
       B                  Em  G
'Cause although you seem gray
  C                   G
I know that you can flourish
       Am          D       G
In the sea where you'll decay

Outro:
     G                Bm
Good morning, Mister Sunfish
     C       D    G
(Oh, Mister ocean fish)
       Em
(Drift away)
       Bm
(Drift away)
     C               D
(And lie below the shining rays)
     C                D
Good morning, Mister Sunfish
     B              Em  G
(Oh, Mister ocean fish)
  C                  G
I know that you can flourish
       Am          D     G
In the sea where you'll decay
    C                  G
And although I've lost courage
         Am        Bm  Em
When the winds led me astray
  C                 G
I know that you can flourish
       Am      D   G
So, maybe I'll be okay
