This is a very sweet, very easy little song. To play in the original key, put a
capo on the 6th fret.
We Csailed away on a winter’s day
With Amfate as malleable as clay
But Cships are fallible I say
And the Amnautical like all things fades
And I cCan recall our caravel
A Amlittle wicker beetle shell
With fCour fine masts and lateen sails
Its Ambearings on Cair Paravel
DmOh my Fmaj7love oh it was a Cfunny little thing
To Dmbe the Fmaj7ones to’veC seen
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
