A A daydream spills from my corked head F#m Breaks free of my wooden neck D Dm Left to nod over sleeping waves A Like bobbing bait for bathing cod F#m Floating flocks of candled swans D Dm Slowly drift across wax ponds Chorus: A F#m C#m F#m The men all played along to marching drums C#m A E And, boy, did they have fun, behind the sea They sang, (hey!) A F#m C#m F#m So our matching legs are marching clocks C#m A E And we're all too small to talk to God A F#m E Yes, we're all too smart to talk to God Toast the fine folks casting silver crumbs To us from the dock Jinxed things ringing as they leak Through tiny cracks in the boardwalk Scarecrow, now it's time to hatch Sprouting suns and ageless daughters A Don't you know, don't you know Em That those watermelon smiles Bm A E Just can't ripen underwater Bm A E Just can't ripen underwater? Chorus: The men all played along to marching drums And, boy, did they have fun, behind the sea They sang, (Hey!) So our matching legs are marching clocks And we're all too small to talk to God Yeah, we're all too smart to talk to God Oh, we're all too smart to talk to God A Oh, legs of wood waves Waves of wooden legs (yeah!) C#m Waves of wooden legs A Legs of wood waves Waves of wooden legs C#m Waves of wooden legs A Legs of wood waves Waves of wooden legs C#m Waves of wooden legs A Legs of wood waves Waves of wooden legs C#m Waves of wooden legs You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA C#m D Dm E Em F#m Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
