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