[Intro]
D G D G

[Verse]
D                                 G
When we arrive, sons and daughters
D                            G
We'll make our homes on the water
D                       G
We'll build our walls aluminum
D                       G             D  G
We'll fill our mouths with cinnamon now

D G D G

[Verse]
D                           G
These currents pull us 'cross the border
D                        G
Steady your boats, arms to shoulder
 D                       G
'till tides are pulled, hold our grounds
D                      G      D       G
Making this cold harbor now home

D G

[Verse]
D                            G
Take up your arms, sons and daughters
 D                     G
We will arise from the bunkers
D                 G
By land, by sea, by dirigible
D                      G           D   G
We'll leave our tracks untraceable now

We'll make our homes on the water

We'll build our walls aluminum
D              G                     D  G
We'll fill our mouths with cinnamon now
