Capo 4
G6: 302003
Verse : G G6
Chorus: Am C G
G
We sailed away on a winter's day
G6
With fate as malleable as clay
G
But ships are fallible, I say
G6
And the nautical, as all things, fades
G
And I do recall our caravel
G6
A little wicker beetle shell
G
With four fine maste and lateen sails
G6
It's bearings on Cair Paravel
Am C
Oh, my love
G
Oh, it was a funny little thing
Am C G
To be the ones to see
G
The sight of bridges and balloons
G6
Makes calm canaries irritable
G
And they caw and claw all afternoon
G6
Catenaries and dirigibles
G
Brace and boil the living room
G6
A loom of metals warp woof wimble
G
And a thimble's worth of milky moon
G6
Can beat hearts larger than a thimble
Am C
Oh, my love
G
Oh, it was a funny little thing
Am C G
To be the ones to've seen
Am C
Oh, my love
G
Oh, it was a funny little thing (funny, funny, little, little...)
Am C G
