Verse:
Gb            Gbsus2           Gb         Gbsus2
Our daydream spills from my gold head
                   Ebm
Breaks free of my wooden neck
B               Bm
Left a nod over sleeping waves
Gb            Gbsus2          Gb       Gbsus2
Like bobbing bait for bathing cod
                   Ebm
Floating flocks of candle swans
B              Bm
Slowly drift across wax ponds

Chorus:
Gb            Ebm             Bbm             Ebm
 The men all played along to marching drums
            Bbm          Ebm          Db
And boy did they have fun behind the sea
          Gb        Ebm                Bbm             Ebm
They sang, “so our matching legs are marching clocks
          Bbm          Ebm          Db
And we’re all too small to talk to god
           Gb            Ebm          Db
Yes, we’re all too smart to talk to god"

Verse:
Gb         Gbsus2              Gb              Gbsus2
Toast the fine folks casting silver crumbs
      Ebm
To us from the dock.
B                     Bm
Jinxed things ringing as they leak
Gb            Gbsus2           Gb        Gbsus2
Through tiny cracks in the boardwalk.
                   Ebm
Scarecrow now it’s time to hatch
B                  Bm         -stop- Gb
Sprouting sons and ageless daughters.

Bridge:
Gb                E                            Dbm7
Those watermelon smiles just can’t ripen underwater

Just can’t ripen underwater

Chorus:
Gb            Ebm             Bbm             Ebm
 The men all played along to marching drums
            Bbm          Ebm          Db
And boy did they have fun behind the sea
          Gb        Ebm                Bbm             Ebm
They sang, “so our matching legs are marching clocks
          Bbm          Ebm          Db
And we’re all too small to talk to god
           Gb            Ebm          Db
Yes, we’re all too smart to talk to god"
