(capo 2)
Intro
C D C D
E Better keep your distance from this A whale
E Better keep your boat from going a A stray
Find yourself a partner and treat them C#m well
E Try to give them shelter night and A day
'Cos here in this bl G ue light
E Far away from the fi G reside
E Things can get G twisted and crazy and D crowded
You can't even fe Em el right
Chorus
So you dream of Co C lumbus
Every D time the panic starts
You dream of Co C lumbus
With your D maps and your beautiful charts
You dream of Co Em lumbus
With an G ache in your travelling he D art
A See how the cormorant swoops and C#m dives
E Must be some thrill to go that A deep
Down to the basement of this C#m life
E Down to where the mermaid gently A sleeps
Not like here in this bl G ue light
E Far away from the fi G reside
E Where things can get G twisted and haunted and D crowded
You can't even fe Em el alright
Chorus
And as Em tide must D ebb and flow
I am Am dragged down Em under
And I C wait the livelong D day
For and Am end to my Em hunger
So I dream of Co C lumbus
Every D time that the panic starts
I dream of Co C lumbus
With my D maps and my beautiful charts
I dream of Co Em lumbus
And there's G peace in a travelling he D art
I dream of Co C lumbus...
Repeat C and D chorus pattern
