Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
F                D#
In the hills and highlands
A#               F        D#      A#
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
F            D#
And awake in your mouth


A#             F      D#    A#
Hello Seattle, I am a manta ray
     F           D#
Deep beneath the blue waves
A#                   F         D#    A#
I’ll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound
F             D#
And construct a summer home


A#             F        D#       A#
Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moon
F               D#
Shining down on your face
A#                F         D#       A#
I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill
F           D#
And descend inside of you


A#             F      D#       A#
Hello Seattle, I am a cold sea horse
F               D#
Feeling warm in your sand
A#               F            D#   A#
I sing about the tide and the ocean surf
F              D#
Rolling in the evening breeze


A#             F       D#  A#
Hello Seattle, I am an albatross
F                D#
On the docks and moored boats
A#                F          D#   A#
I sail above your inlets and interstates
F                    D#
Through the rain and open wind


A#             F       D#       A#
Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse
F                 D#
Throwing beams of bright light
A#                  F           D#      A#
Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun
F               D#
Taking heed for everyone




        D#         G
Take me above your light
         F           A#
Carry me through the night
        D#        G
Hold me secure in flight
           F       A#
Sing me to sleep tonight
