Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is a very sweet, very easy little song. To play in the original key, put a
capo on the 6th fret.
[Verse 1]
C
We sailed away on a winter’s day
Am
With fate as malleable as clay
C
But ships are fallible I say
Am
And the nautical like all things fades
C
And I can recall our caravel
Am
A little wicker beetle shell
C
With four fine masts and lateen sails
Am
Its bearings on Cair Paravel
Dm Fmaj7 C
Oh my love oh it was a funny little thing
Dm Fmaj7 C
To be the ones to’ve seen
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
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
