While I was walk-ing down the beach  
 3   -3    -4   4  -3  3
one bright and sun-ny day, 
3  1  1   1    2   3   3   3
I saw a great big wood-en box  
2  -1   -1  -1  2  -1
a-float-in’ in the bay. 
3   1    1  1   2  3   3   3  3
I pulled it in and o-pened it up  
 3   -3  -4 4  -3   -4
and much to my sur-prise; 
3   4  4   4   -4 -3 3 3 3
Oh, I dis-cov-ered a - - -,   
  4   4   -5  -4  4
right be-fore my eyes!

Oh, I dis-cov-ered a - - -,   
  4   4   -5  -4  4
right be-fore my eyes!
