{c:Intro}

[D] [C] [D]

Better keep your distance from this [A]whale

Better keep your boat from going a[A]stray

Find yourself a partner and treat them [C#m]well

Try to give them shelter night and [A]day

'Cos here in this bl[G]ue light

Far away from the fi[G]reside

Things can get [G]twisted and crazy and [D]crowded

You can't even fe[Em]el right

{c:Chorus}

{soc}

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

{eoc}

See how the cormorant swoops and [C#m]dives

Must be some thrill to go that [A]deep

Down to the basement of this [C#m]life

Down to where the mermaid gently [A]sleeps

Not like here in this bl[G]ue light

Far away from the fi[G]reside

Where things can get [G]twisted and haunted and [D]crowded

You can't even fe[Em]el alright

{c: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...
