[Verse]
 
    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]
                   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?
 
 
[Verse]
 
      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]
                    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?
 
 
[Bridge]
 
       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]
                    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?
