The Decemberists - Bridges and Balloons
Capo 4th fret - Standard tuning

G
We sailed away on a winter's day

Cadd9
With fate as malleable as clay

G
But ships are fallible, I say

Cadd9
And the nautical, like all things, fades

G
And I can recall our caravel

Cadd9
A little wicker beetle shell

G
With four fine maste and lateen sails

Cadd9
Its bearings on Cair Paravel



Am    Cadd9
Oh my love

G
Oh it was a funny little thing

Am
To be

C
The ones

G
To've seen
