D


[Verse 1]
       D                 A              G                     D
On the streets where the streetcars are squeaking through the morning
    Bm             G               A
The flags that are raised start to wave
    D          A          G           D
Goodbye to the old people gathered by warnings
  Bm           G          Em          A          D
I stand on the corner and feel like a foreigner, oh


[Chorus]
D            G   C     G    D
Far from the sparkling blue waters
          D            G  C  G   D
Where the fish and the canvasses play
        D            G    C  G  D
And the waves are as calm as my father
        A             F  D    F   D
And the daughters are dancing all day


[Verse 2]
       D               A              G              D
In the house where the housewares are thrown out the window
   Bm         G               A
In soap opera dreams, they do scream
        D        A            G               D
And the people inside can't decide where they will go
        Bm          G             Em          A     D
For the track it is wrong and the train it is long, oh


[Chorus]
D            G   C     G    D
Far from the sparkling blue waters
          D            G  C  G   D
Where the fish and the canvasses play
        D            G    C  G  D
And the waves are as calm as my father
        A             F  D    F   D
And the daughters are dancing all day

[Verse 3]
        D            A             G           D
All the diamonds are packed back behind in the redwoods
       Bm       G               A
In the Japanese freighters back home
      D              A             G              D
But I won't cut that tree till I'm sure that it's deadwood
        Bm           G          Em        A     D
And the last leaf is fallen and summer is gone, oh


[Chorus]
D            G   C     G    D
Far from the sparkling blue waters
          D            G  C  G   D
Where the fish and the canvasses play
        D            G    C  G  D
And the waves are as calm as my father
        A             F  D    F   D
And the daughters are dancing all day
        A             F  D    F   D
And the daughters are dancing all day, oh
