Sea Engines
Words and music by Jay Farrar and Benjamin Gibbard from the album “One Fast Move Or I’m Gone”
Capo 3
We [  D]calcimine feathers
[  A] Kitchen lights on
Sea [  G]Engines from Russia
Sea [  D] birding here be[  A]low
When [  D]rocks out sea froth
[  A] I’ll know Hawaii
My [  G] double legged cliff
To the [  D]stilt of a million [  A] years
Go [  D] on die salt light
You [  A] billion yeared rock knocker
[  G] Sad as wife and Hill
Loved as [  D]mother and [  A] fog
[  G] Wine is salt here this [  A] tidal wave kitchen
[  D] Engines of Russia in [  G] your soft talk
You ain’t just whistling for [  A] sanity
You [  Bm]ain’t just [  A] wasting [  G] time
[  D]Tumble seabird dig down
[  A]Footstep hollow weed
Accomo[  G]dations of mind
[  A]Crashes in [  D] rhythm
The 5 [  D] billion years
Since [  A]earth we saw substantial
No [  G] human words bespeak
Sorrow [  D]older than this [  G]wave
Ah [  D]change the world
Ah [  A]set the fee
Are [  G] rope the angels
In [  D]all the [A] sea
[  G] Wine is salt here this [  A] tidal wave kitchen
[  D] Engines of Russia in [  G] your soft talk
You ain’t just whistling for [  A] sanity
You [  Bm]ain’t just [  A] wasting [  G] time
