 intro: 
 Em  D   Em  C (2x) 
 Bm  D   Bm  D 
 C   Em  C   D 
 
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  
 
Em 
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 
 
C 
cloudless night in June 
 
     D                                
As he rested between voyages at his 
 
Em 
Beach House On The Moon 
 
  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 
 
Em                 G 
Beach House On the Moon
