Sea Engines
Words and music by Jay Farrar and Benjamin Gibbard from the album “One Fast Move Or I’m Gone”
Capo 3
We [ D ]calcimine feathers
[ A ] Kitchen lights on
Sea [ G ]Engines from Russia
Sea [ D ] birding here be[ A ]low
When [ D ]rocks out sea froth
[ A ] I’ll know Hawaii
My [ G ] double legged cliff
To the [ D ]stilt of a million [ A ] years
Go [ D ] on die salt light
You [ A ] billion yeared rock knocker
[ G ] Sad as wife and Hill
Loved as [ D ]mother and [ A ] fog
[ G ] Wine is salt here this [ A ] tidal wave kitchen
[ D ] Engines of Russia in [ G ] your soft talk
You ain’t just whistling for [ A ] sanity
You [ Bm ]ain’t just [ A ] wasting [ G ] time
[ D ]Tumble seabird dig down
[ A ]Footstep hollow weed
Accomo[ G ]dations of mind
[ A ]Crashes in [ D ] rhythm
The 5 [ D ] billion years
Since [ A ]earth we saw substantial
No [ G ] human words bespeak
Sorrow [ D ]older than this [ G ]wave
Ah [ D ]change the world
Ah [ A ]set the fee
Are [ G ] rope the angels
In [ D ]all the [A] sea
[ G ] Wine is salt here this [ A ] tidal wave kitchen
[ D ] Engines of Russia in [ G ] your soft talk
You ain’t just whistling for [ A ] sanity
You [ Bm ]ain’t just [ A ] wasting [ G ] time
