Whirlpool
D Bm D Bm
There was a swirling mass of water that lived in a quiet pond
D Bm D Bm
It asked permission from its master to visit the lands beyond
F# E Bm
And its master allowed it to fly
F# E Bm
So the wind swept the whirlpool across the sky
D Bm D Bm
The whirlpool''s mother wore a jacket she''d sewn out of dental floss
D Bm D Bm
It was stolen by a monkey that sold it to an albatross
F# E Bm
And it had the idea to fly
F# E Bm
so the wind swept the whirlpool across the sky
D Bm D Bm
There was a swirling mass of water that lived in a quiet pond
D Bm D Bm
It asked permission from its master to visit the lands beyond
F# E Bm
And its master allowed it to fly
F# E Bm
So the wind swept the whirlpool across the sky
F# E Bm
And it had the idea to fly
F# E Bm
so the wind swept the whirlpool across the sky

That lived in a quiet pond
It asked permission from its master
To visit the lands beyond
And its master allowed it to fly
So the wind swept the whirlpool across the sky
The whirlpool''s mother wore a jacket
She''d sewn out of dental floss
It was stolen by a monkey
That sold it to an albatross
And it had the idea to fly
So the wind swept the whirlpool across the sky
There was a swirling mass of water
That lived in a quiet pond
It asked permission from its master
To visit the lands beyond
And its master allowed it to fly
So the wind swept the whirlpool across the sky
And it had the idea to fly
So the wind swept the whirlpool across the sky
