This is a very sweet, very easy little song. To play in the original key, put a capo on the 6th fret. C We sailed away on a winter’s day Am With fate as malleable as clay C But ships are fallible I say Am And the nautical like all things fades C And I can recall our caravel Am A little wicker beetle shell C With four fine masts and lateen sails Am Its bearings on Cair Paravel Dm Fmaj7 C Oh my love oh it was a funny little thing Dm Fmaj7 C To be the ones to’ve 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
