INTRO:
C  D  C  D
         

E                                   A
Better keep your distance from this whale
E                                 A
Better keep your boat from going astray
                                       C#m
Find yourself a partner and treat them well
E                                  A
Try to give them shelter night and day
                    G
'Cos here in this blue light
E                   G
Far away from the fireside
E              G                     D
Things can get twisted and crazy and crowded
                 Em
You can't even feel right

CHORUS:
                  C
So you dream of Columbus
      D
Every time the panic starts
               C
You dream of Columbus
          D
With your maps and your beautiful charts
               Em
You dream of Columbus
        G                         D
With an ache in your travelling heart


A                                C#m
See how the cormorant swoops and dives
E                              A
Must be some thrill to go that deep
                             C#m
Down to the basement of this life
E                                A
Down to where the mermaid gently sleeps
                        G
Not like here in this blue light
E                   G
Far away from the fireside
E                    G                       D
Where things can get twisted and haunted and crowded
                 Em
You can't even feel alright

CHORUS:

       Em        D
And as tide must ebb and flow
     Am           Em
I am dragged down under
      C                 D
And I wait the livelong day
        Am        Em
For and end to my hunger

                C
So I dream of Columbus
      D
Every time that the panic starts
             C
I dream of Columbus
        D
With my maps and my beautiful charts
             Em
I dream of Columbus
            G                       D
And there's peace in a travelling heart

             C
I dream of Columbus...
