Verse 1:
[ Tab from: bttp://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/traffic/bole_in_my_sboe_tab.btml ]
I lo[G]oked in the sky where an elephant's eye
Was l[Am]ooking at me from a bubblegum tree
And a[G]ll that I knew was the hole in my shoe
Which was l[Bb]etting i[Eb/Bb]n wate[Bb]r (letting in water)
(letting in water)
[repeat 4/4 section of intro]
Verse 2:
I walked through a field that just wasn't real
With one hundred tin soldiers which stood at my shoulder
And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe
Which was letting in water (letting in water)
(letting in water)
Bridge:

F Eb C [2X]

(Narration: I climbed on the back of a giant albatross
What flew through a crack in the cloud
To a place where happiness reigned all year round
And music played ever so loudly)
(mellotron: F#/C tritone, lowered gradually to E/Bb over 2 bars)
Verse 3:
I started to fall and suddenly woke
And the dew on the grass had soaked through my coat
And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe
Which was letting in water (letting in water)
(letting in water)
Coda:
instrumental (w/wordless backup vocals) over B chord; fade out
and fade back in
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
