The third line lyric is wrong "Walking on a wave's chicane" Should read " Walking on a wave she came"

Try on the first line of each vs.(except the third vs. 2nd line) putting a Cmaj7 two beats (approx) behind the C chord on the 1st line of each vs. Then follow the Am with an Asus (approx) two beats behind on the 2nd. line of each vs.(3rd vs. Cmaj7 on Ivanhoe and Am on envy Asus on me.Those minors have haunted me since '63!!!

OK lets put this controversy to bed. It is "Walking on a wave CHICANE". Watch the original video and it should be clear to even the most tone deaf.
