As recorded by Jimmy Buffett (From the 2023 Album EQUAL STRAIN ON ALL PARTS) [Intro] C D C D A [Verse 1]
A                                   C#m7
Better keep your distance from this whale

E                                  A
Better keep your boat from going astray

                                       C#m7
Find yourself a partner and treat them well

E                                   A
Try to give them shelter, night and day
[Pre-Chorus]
                    G
'Cause here in this blue light

E                  G
 Far away from the fireside

E               G                     D
 Things can get twisted and crazy and crowded

                   E
And you can't even feel alright
[Chorus]
                 C
So, I dream of Columbus

      D
Every time the panic starts

               C
You dream of Columbus

          D
With your maps and your beautiful charts

               Em
You dream of Columbus

        G                      D
With an ache in your traveling heart
[Verse 2]
A                                 C#m7
 See how the cormorant swoops and dives

E                               A
 Must be some thrill to go that deep

                             C#m7
Down to the basement of this life

E                                  A
 Down to where the mermaids gently sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
                      G
Not like here in this blue light

E                  G
 Far away from the fireside

E                     G                       D
 Where things can get twisted and haunted and crowded

               E
You can't even feel alright
[Chorus]
                   C
So, you dream of Columbus

      D
Every time the panic starts

               C
You dream of Columbus

          D
With your maps and your beautiful charts

               Em     G  D
You dream of Columbus
[Bridge]
           Em            D
And as the tide must ebb and flow

     Am      Bm   Em
I am dragged down under

      C                 D
And I wait the livelong day

       Am  Bm    Em
For an end to my hunger
[Chorus]
                 C
So, I dream of Columbus

      D
Every time the panic starts

             C
I dream of Columbus

        D
With my maps and my beautiful charts

             Em
I dream of Columbus

            G                       D
And there's peace in this traveling heart
[Outro]
           C      D
Dream of Columbus

             C      D
I dream of Columbus

           C      D
Dream of Columbus

           C      D
Dream of Columbus
