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
[Instrumental]
D A G D

Bm G Em A D
[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
