This is a very sweet, very easy little song. To play in the original key, put a
capo on the 6th fret.
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
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

A picking pattern that I like for this song:
--------
----1---
---0--0-
--2--2--
-3------
-------- x4 alternating between C and Am, pretty flowy and harp like and fits this song. (same as Jose Gonzalez's "Cycling Trivialities")
