This is a very sweet, very easy little song. To play in the original key, put a 
capo on the 6th fret. 


  
   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


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
