 intro: 
 Em (022000@1)D (xx0232@1) Em (022000@1)C(2x) (x32010@1)
 Bm (x24432@1)D (xx0232@1) Bm (x24432@1)D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) Em (022000@1)C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) 
Bm (x24432@1)                            
Camerons getting logical  
 
  D (xx0232@1)A vulcan in disguise 
 
    Bm (x24432@1)The mysteries of the night 
 
            D (xx0232@1)
Are putting sparkles in his eyes 
 
 
     C (x32010@1)                              
He's looking for sound reasoning but the  
 
Em (022000@1)best that I can do, is this 
 
C (x32010@1)                              
transcendental story that I'll  
  
D (xx0232@1)pass along to you 
 
        Bm (x24432@1)Past the falls they call Victoria 
 
         D (xx0232@1)down the river named the Nile 
 
  Bm (x24432@1)Drifts a tiny little hand made boat  
 
   D (xx0232@1)it'shaped just like a smile 
 
 
     C (x32010@1)                             
And, steered by a magician, 
  
         Em (022000@1)with the knowledge that he needs 
 
   C (x32010@1)                              
To keep him on his destined course past 
 
    Em (022000@1)            D (xx0232@1)  A (x02220@1)the crocodiles and  ree--eeds 
 
 
         Em (022000@1)                           
He's the Admiral of the ocean  
 
         C (x32010@1)the lone eagle in the sky 
 
   D (xx0232@1)                             
He gave me my first sextant 
 
       Em (022000@1)and he taught me how to fly 
 
          Bm (x24432@1)                            
It's been quite a lengthy passage 
 
         D (xx0232@1)from the dawn of time 'till now 
 
       Bm (x24432@1)
He has weathered the infernal storms 
 
       D (xx0232@1)in his trusty petite dow 
 
 
       C (x32010@1)                             
He has soared above colossal waves, 
 
    Em (022000@1)and sailed the endless sea 
 
C (x32010@1)                        
Sometimes he resembles you 
      
    Em (022000@1)                D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1)sometimes he looks like me--ee 
 
 
  Em (022000@1)                            
I saw him through my telescope  
 
   C (x32010@1)on cloudless night in June, as he 
 
D (xx0232@1)                             
rested between voyages at his  
 
Em (022000@1)Beach House On The Moon 
 
 
          Bm (x24432@1)                             
There are windows to the galaxies and  
 
D (xx0232@1)hallways to the past 
 
          Bm (x24432@1)
There are trapdoors to the future  
 
      D (xx0232@1)and a splintered ancient mast 
 
 
          C (x32010@1)                              
There are relics from Apollo trips, 
 
         Em (022000@1)when the earthmen came to play 
 
       C (x32010@1)                              
And, a hammock from a distant star out 
 
Em (022000@1)         D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1)in the Milky Way-ay 
 
 
         Em (022000@1)                             
He's the Admiral of the ocean the lone 
 
C (x32010@1)eagle in the sky 
 
   D (xx0232@1)                              
He gave me my first sextant and he  
 
Em (022000@1)taught me how to fly 
 
 
  Em (022000@1)                             
I saw him through my telescope on 
 
C (x32010@1)cloudless night in June 
 
     D (xx0232@1)                              
As he rested between voyages at his 
 
Em (022000@1)Beach House On The Moon 
 
  Bm (x24432@1)                             
A stripped bass breaks the surface 
 
       D (xx0232@1)As the sunset fades away 
 
         Bm (x24432@1)And, our journey from the sea of storms 
 
         D (xx0232@1)takes us home beside the bay 
 
 
       C (x32010@1)                              
We go  fishing in the ocean,  
 
      Em (022000@1)we go traveling back in time 
 
         C (x32010@1)                              
Like the song says "teach your children" 
 
      D (xx0232@1)to go fishing with their minds 
 
 
Bm (x24432@1)                            D (xx0232@1)Cameron's contemplating I'm not 
 
D (xx0232@1)sure just what he thinks 
 
      Bm (x24432@1)Is my dad some kind of lunatic with 
 
    D (xx0232@1)his stories and hi-jinks 
 
 
        C (x32010@1)                              
Then he says when I get old and grey 
 
    Em (022000@1)and feel like I'm marooned 
 
      C (x32010@1)                              
He'll take me in his rocket ship to the 
 
Em (022000@1)               G (320003@1)Beach House On the Moon
