 i will sail to the far shore,
 Eb5 F#5
 and i will chop a hole in the hull too big to repair,
 C#5 F5
 and i will turn the soil with my hands,
 Eb5 F#5
 and i will make my home there.
 C#5 Ab5 C#5 F#5
 my garden will grow so high.
 C#5 Ab5 C#5 F#5
 my garden will grow so high.
 C#5 Ab5
 that i will be completely hidden.

 i will go where i will go,
 and i will jettison all dead weight,
 and i will use these words for kindling,
 and i will sleep by the garden gate.
 my garden will grow so high.
 my garden will grow so high.
 that i will be completely hidden.
