Chords

[Intro] Dm7 G Dm7 G x2 Bm D Bm D C Em C G [Verse 1]
Bm
 Camerons getting logical

  D
a Vulcan in disguise

    Bm
the myst'ries of the night

            D
are putting sparkles in his eyes

     C
He's looking for sound reasoning

        Em
but the best that I can do,

        C
is this transcendental story

          G
that I'll pass along to you
[Verse 2]
         Bm
Past the falls they call Victoria

         D
down the river named the Nile

         Bm
drifts a tiny little hand made boat

     D
it's shaped just like a smile

     C
And, steered by a magician,

         Em
with the knowledge that he needs

   C
To keep him on his destined course

         Em              D/A    A
past the crocodiles and  reeds
[Chorus]
         Em
He's the Admiral of the ocean

         C
the lone eagle in the sky

   D
He gave me my first sextant

       Em
and he taught me how to fly
[Interlude] Bm [Verse 3]
          Bm
It's been quite a lengthy passage

         D
from the dawn of time 'till now

       Bm
He has weathered the infernal storms

       D
in his trusty petite dhow

       C
He has soared above colossal waves,

    Em
and sailed the endless sea

C
Sometimes he resembles you

    Em                  D/A   A
sometimes he looks like me
[Chorus 2]
  Em
I saw him through my telescope

   C
on cloudless night in June,

      D
as he rested between voyages

       Em
at his beach house on the moon
[Interlude] Bm [Verse 4]
          Bm
There are windows to the galaxies

    D
and hallways to the past

          Bm
There are trapdoors to the future

      D
and a splintered ancient mast

          C
There are relics from Apollo trips,

         Em
when the earthmen came to play

      C
And a hammock from a distant star

    Em           D/A   A
out in the Milky Way-ay
[Chorus 3]
         Em
He's the Admiral of the ocean

         C
the lone eagle in the sky

   D
He gave me my first sextant

       Em
and he taught me how to fly

  Em
I saw him through my telescope

     C
on a cloudless night in June

      D
As he rested between voyages

       Em
at his beach house on the moon
[Interlude] Bm [Bridge] Cm D Cm G Em C D Em Em C D Em [Verse 5]
  Bm
A striped bass breaks the surface

       D
As the sunset fades away

        Bm
And our journey from the Sea of Storms

         D
takes us home beside the bay

      C
We go fishing in the ocean,

      Em
we go traveling back in time

         C
Like the song says "teach your children"

      G
to go fishing with their minds
[Verse 6]
Bm
 Cameron's contemplating

        D
I'm not sure just what he thinks

      Bm
Is my dad some kind of lunatic

         D
with his stories and hi-jinks

        C
Then he says when I get old and gray

    Em
and feel like I'm marooned

        C
He will take me in his rocket ship

       G                 
to the beach house on the moon
[Outro] Dm7 G Dm7 G Dm7 G Dm7 G
