        E                                      C 
     So this ain't the end - I saw you again today 
                                 E 
     I had to turn my heart away 
                                           C 
     Smile like the Sun - kisses for ev'ry one 
                          E 
     and tales - it never fails! 
      
        Chorus 1 
                  C                    E 
        You lying so low in the weeds 
          C                        E 
        I bet you gonna ambush me 
                      D                            A 
        You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees 
                 (tacet)       E           F#  G 
        Now wouldn't you, Barracuda? 
       
     E                                          C 
     Back over time when we were all trying for free 
                                      E 
     you met up with porpoise and me 
                                            C 
     No right, no wrong; selling a song - a name 
             E 
     Whisper game. 
      
        Chorus 2  
                   C                             E 
        And if the real thing don't do the trick 
                   C                        E 
        You better make up something quick 
                  D                                A 
        You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick 
                   E 
        Oooh, Barracuda? 
      
      C 
     "Sell me sell you" the porpoise said 
     A                                        E 
     Dive down deep, now.  Save my head. You ... 
      
     I think that you got the blues too. 
     C  
     All that night and all the next 
     A 
     Swam without looking back 
                          E 
     Made for the western pools -- silly, silly fools. 
      
     Chorus 2
