Bridges and Balloons [The Milk-Eyed Mender] chords and lyrics - JOANNA NEWSOM

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D]
We sailed [Em]away [D]on a winter's

[Verse 1]
day
With fate as malleable as clay
But ships are fallible, I say
And the nautical, like all things fades
And I can recall [G]our [D]caravel
A little wicker beetle shell
With four fine masts and lateen sails
Its bearings on [Em]Cair Paravel

[Verse 2]
Oh my [Em]love
Oh it was a [G]funny little [D]thing
To [Em]be
The ones
To've [G]seen[D]

[Verse 3]
The sight of bridges [D]and balloons
Makes [Bm]calm canaries irritable
And they caw and [D]claw all
af[Bm]ternoon
Catenaries and dirigibles
Brace and buoy the living room
A loom of metals warp woof wimble
And a thimbles worth of milky moon

[Verse 4]
Can touch hearts larger than a thimble
[Bm]Oh my lo[Em]ve
Oh it [G]was a funny [D]little thing
To [Bm]be
The [G]ones
[D]To've seen
[Bm]Oh m[Em]y

[Verse 5]
love
[G]Oh it [D]was a funny little thing

[Outro 1]
It was a funny funny little thing
