[Verse 1]
A C#m7
Better keep your distance from this whale
E A
Better keep your boat from going astray
C#m7
Find yourself a partner and treat them well
E A
Try to give them shelter, night and day
[Pre-Chorus]
G
'Cause here in this blue light
E G
Far away from the fireside
E G D
Things can get twisted and crazy and crowded
E
And you can't even feel alright
[Chorus]
C
So, I 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 traveling heart
[Verse 2]
A C#m7
See how the cormorant swoops and dives
E A
Must be some thrill to go that deep
C#m7
Down to the basement of this life
E A
Down to where the mermaids gently sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
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
E
You can't even feel alright
[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 G D
You dream of Columbus
[Bridge]
Em D
And as the tide must ebb and flow
Am Bm Em
I am dragged down under
C D
And I wait the livelong day
Am Bm Em
For an end to my hunger
[Chorus]
C
So, I dream of Columbus
D
Every time 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 this traveling heart
[Outro]
C D
Dream of Columbus
C D
I dream of Columbus
C D
Dream of Columbus
C D
Dream of Columbus
