[Verse 1]
         E                              D
My aunt is living in the country in a house by the water
D             E           A            E  D
That's the place where I learned to swim

[Verse 2]
                  A            E                    D
When the uncle was still living he kept his prize winning chickens
D             E           A          E    D
That looked like waiters in black & white

I was sleeping in the attic between the preservation bottles
D             E        A       E         D
And my cousin with peroxidized hair

[Verse 4]
           A                  E                 D
The boys next door were standing on a tyre of an aeroplane
D             E         A                 E     D
In the middle of the river in their Sunday suits

[Chorus]
D        E    A           D        E    A
Pelican & Penguin you are wakening me up
 D           E           A                     E             D
[I'm in the middle of dreaming and you are tearing it apart]?

D             E         A       D           E  A  E  D
My uncle he was reading lots of pocket books
D              E           A                          E  D
He had one shelf for Penguin and one shelf for Pelican

[Verse 6]
             E                          D
When he was dead and buried my aunt gave me the books
D      E       A              E       D
She didn't care too much for reading

D             E               A     D            E  A  E  D
And nowadays when I travel I always take one of each
D         E     A                    D
I look at the back and make my choice

[Chorus]
D        E    A           D        E    A
Pelican & Penguin you are wakening me up
 D           E           A                     E             D
[I'm in the middle of dreaming and you are tearing it apart]?
