This is a fun Joanna Newsom cover.  "Dirigibles."  Ha.  Listen to the song for strumming.  

B: 7-9-9-8-7-7
E: 7-7-9-9-7-7
Cm: x-4-6-6-5-4

B
We sailed away on a winter's day
     E
with fate as malleable as clay;
     B
but ships are fallible, I say,
     E
and the nautical, like all things, fades

    B
And I can recall our caravel:
    E
a little wicker beetle shell
    B
with four fine maste and lateen sails,
    E
its bearings on Cair Paravel

Cm        E
O-- my--- love,
           B
O it was a funny little thing
   Cm     E          B
to be the ones to've seen.
