Am C Dm E
Just gotta keep on moving, that's our way

with icy, icy blue
Am C
And the Statue of Liberty

it'll be from a canoe
Am C Dm E
Floating on our tears and your tears too

Boohoo
Am C Dm E Am

She will not be going to a funeral
But she'll put on a pretty black dress anyway
And then she'll go to the park and play in the sandpit

Then we'll cover New York
with icy, icy blue
And the Statue of Liberty
she'll be poking through
And the last time that you see her
it'll be from a canoe
Floating on our tears and your tears too

Boohoo
Am C Dm E Am E Am
Boohoo~
Chorus 2:;
