(Lyrics Taken From Disc Booklet)

C
swans, swans, swans sing songs
F                                              C
all night long, who know how warm the islands were?
C
while the frogs look on
F                                                                C     F  G
its what the birds prefer, and it's still warm after the sun has gone


Am         F                 C                      G
i woke up thirsty the day i died and the tide was swirling
E               Am                    Dm  G E            Am  F  G
my mouth is so dry, and all i see is sea,   two shining seas


C
swans, swans, swans sing songs
F                                                   C
all night long, who knew how warm the islands would be?

C
and who knew just how much the
F                                                        C
sky covers me, it makes you forget what it means to be free

Am                        F                             C
i climbed in through the blowhole, in the ribs i found you
                      Am                      F               G
with a wick we lit a flame, now look at the smoke that it blew
E                 Am                    Dm    G     E       Am
the mouth is so wide, yet all i see is sea   and     azure sky
          F            G
a little wave and ebb tide


E      Am      F
ladadada
