Capo 6th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 We sailed away on a winter’s day

 With fate as malleable as clay

 But ships are fallible I say

 And the nautical like all things fades

 And I can recall our caravel

 A little wicker beetle shell

 With four fine masts and lateen sails

 Its bearings on Cair Paravel

Oh my love oh it was a funny little thing

 To be the ones to’ve seen

The sight of bridges and balloons

Makes calm canaries irritable

And they caw and claw all afternoon

Catenaries and dirigibles

Brace and buoy the living room

A loom of metal warp woof wimble

And a thimble’s worth of milky moon

Can touch hearts larger than a thimble

Oh my love oh it was a funny little thing

To be the ones to’ve seen

Oh my love oh it was a funny little thing

It was a funny funny little thing
