Bm                             
Camerons getting logical 

  D
A vulcan in disguise

    Bm
The mysteries of the night

            D 
Are putting sparkles in his eyes


     C                               
He's looking for sound reasoning but the 

Em
best that I can do, is this

C                               
transcendental story that I'll 
 
D
pass along to you

        Bm
Past the falls they call Victoria

         D
down the river named the Nile

  Bm
Drifts a tiny little hand made boat 

   D
it'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 past

    Em              D    A
the crocodiles and  ree--eeds


         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

          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 dow


       C                              
He has soared above colossal waves,

    Em
and sailed the endless sea

C                         
Sometimes he resembles you
     
    Em                  D   A
sometimes he looks like me--ee


  Em                             
I saw him through my telescope 

   C
on cloudless night in June, as he

D                              
rested between voyages at his

Beach House On The Moon


          Bm                              
There are windows to the galaxies and 

D
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 out

Em           D   A
in the Milky Way-ay


         Em                              
He's the Admiral of the ocean the lone

C
eagle in the sky

   D                               
He gave me my first sextant and he 

Em
taught me how to fly


  Em                              
I saw him through my telescope on

cloudless night in June

  Bm                              
A stripped 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"

      D
to go fishing with their minds


Bm                              D
Cameron's contemplating I'm not

D
sure just what he thinks

      Bm
Is my dad some kind of lunatic with

    D
his stories and hi-jinks


        C                               
Then he says when I get old and grey

    Em
and feel like I'm marooned

      C                               
He'll take me in his rocket ship to the
