Behind the Sea Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Cm]A da[F]ydre[G]am spills
from my corked head
Breaks free of my wooden [Em]neck
[C]Left [Cm]a nod over sleeping waves
[G]Like bobbing bait for bathing cod
Floating flocks of candled [Em]swans
[C]Slowly [Cm]drift across wax ponds

[Verse 2]
[G]
The men all played along
to march[Bm]ing drums
[Em]And boy did they have[Bm]
[G]fun behind [D]the sea
They [G]sang (hey)
So our matching legs are [Bm]marching clocks
[G]And we're all too[Bm]
[G]small to talk [D]to god
Yes, we're [G]all too smart
[Em]to talk to god
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
Toast the fine folks casting silver crumbs
To us from [Em]the dock
[C]Jinxed things [Cm]ringing as they leak
[G]Through tiny cracks in the
boardwalk
Scarecrow, now it's time [Em]to hatch
[C]Sprout[Cm]ing suns and
ageless daugh[G]ters

[Verse 4]
Don't you [G]know, don't you know
That those [Dm]watermelon smiles
[Am]Just can't ripen [D]underwater
[Am]Just can't ripen un[D]derwater

[Verse 5]
[G]The men all played along
to march[Bm]ing drums
[Em]And boy did they have[Bm]
[G]fun behind [D]the sea
They [G]sang (hey)
So our matching legs are [Bm]marching clocks
[G]And[Em] we're all too[Bm]
[G]small to talk [D]to god
Yeah, we're all [G]too smart to [Em]talk [D]to god
Oh, we're all [G]too smart
[Em]to talk to god
[D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Oh, legs of wood waves,
waves of wooden legs
[Bm]Waves of wooden legs
[G]Legs of wood waves,
waves of wooden [Bm]legs
Waves of wooden legs
[G]Legs of wood waves,
waves of wooden [Bm]legs
Waves of wooden [Em]legs
[G]Legs of wood waves,
waves of wooden legs
[Bm]Waves of wooden legs[D]
[G]
