This is a little song that I wrote
[E] for some kids who
welcomed me into the port of Gustavia and st.
Bartholomew many years ago and
Let's just say as sailors will do my [D] first night in town was spent celebrating the fact that I've lived through the voyage and
Made it ashore.
[G#m] So I had a little
[E] [D]
[F#] Headache or a hangover a little head to my and
I was delivered croissants and a little coffee and a little dinghy by [E] children who came to the boat and I immediately adopted them and
fell in love with all [D] of them, so
They are see so the permission sound I create on Fonsey
Sepatio Fonsey a party on glamour say for two months as well song for the children song for the world
Shanson for the people

[D] [A] [D]
So kids come up to your boat with croissants and coffee take it way on this the moon
[A] Flew away [D] in the night with his best friend [A] Magnus right by [D] his side
They sort through the [G] Milky Way counting the stars once around [A] Venus twice [D] around Mars
And then [G] despite an island rise [D] out of the sea fell back to earth
Just as [A] free as you please the children all gathered [A] the church felt it [D] a ring
suddenly [A] everyone started
[D] Shots on for the [A] babies [D] on
Shots on for to the moon
Shots on for the babies on
Shots on for to the moon
Queen [A] of the island she welcomed [D] him in
Asking [A] questions of where they had [D] been she offered [G] in chocolate
[A] She offered [D] them tea the other two [A] seeds in the top [D] of a tree
And raccoons brought [A] wine and the mice they [D] brought cheese
Beautiful [A] bird floated by on the breeze while out in the ocean the dolphins [D] began
humming a tune [A] listen cover the land

Bush doctor [G] mixed [A] up a magical [D] spell for them to [A] see could see never to tell
And then young mr.
Moon flew away in [D] the night with his best friend [A] Magnus right by his side
Sun was just rising they'd [D] be home by noon
I'm in the [A] worst
