[Verse 1]
Eb             Ab
Counting ships on the sea
Eb                               Ab
Collecting numbers in the breeze
Eb             G            Cm           Bb
Of every lazy wave of water on the shore
Ab                               Eb        Bb
In summer sky what man could ask for more


[Verse 2]
Eb             Ab
Digging holes in the sand
Eb                               Ab
In search of some forgotten land
Eb             Bb     G      Cm             Bb
Just in case I may discover something there
        Ab
I could tell the busy world
                          Eb          Bb
But I don't think a busy world would care


[Chorus]
Ab             Bb7
I'm just a man, an ordinary man
Cm                Eb             Ab
With a handful of sand, and a dream
                   Eb
Strange as it may seem
Ab               Eb
I'm an ordinary man
Bb7
That's all I am


[Verse 3]
Eb                  Ab
I'm counting ships on the sea
Eb                           Ab
I'm still collecting numbers in the breeze
Eb             G                 Cm      Bb
Of every lazy wave of water on the shore
   Ab                                 Eb   Bb
In summer sky what man could ask for more


[Verse 4]
Eb            Ab
Digging holes in the sand
Eb                        Ab
In search of my forgotten buried land
Eb                  G            Cm               Bb
It's just in case I may discover something there
Ab
I could tell the busy world
                          Eb                Bb
But I don't think a busy world, they would care

[Chorus]
Ab             Bb
I'm just a man, an ordinary man
Cm                Eb             Ab
With a handful of sand, and a dream
                   Eb
Strange as it may seem
Ab               Eb
Strange as it may seem
Ab               Eb
Strange as it may seem
       Ab  Bb   Eb
I'm an ordinary man
