[Verse 1]
Em               F                        Em                        F
I remember redwood trees, bumper cars and wolverines
       Em                       F
The ocean's Trident submarines
Em                            F
Lemons, limes and tangerines
Em                 F
I remember this
Em                 F
I remember traffic jams
Em                       F
Motor boys and girls with tans
Em                       F
Nearly was and almost rans
Em                F
I remember this

[Instrumental]
| Em    | F    |
| Em    | F    |
| Em    | F    |
| Em    | F    |

[Bridge]
         Em            F
And history is made
Em             F                       Em  F
History is made to seem unfair

[Verse 2]
Em                F
I recall that you were there
Em                           F
Golden smile and shining hair
Em            F
I recall it wasn't fair
Em               F
Recollect it wasn't fair
    Em                    F                Em
Remembering it wasn't fair outside

[Chorus]
         F               Em
Low ebb, high tide
        F                        Em
The lowest ebb and highest tide
      F                     Em
A symbol wave I must confide
    F                          Em         Asus2
I guess we took us for a ride
   Em                       Asus2   Em   Asus2   Em   Asus2
I guess it's just a gesture

[Verse 3]
Em                 F
I remember this defense
Em                     F
Progress fails pacific sense
Em                        F
All those sweet conspiracies
Em               F
I remember all these things
Em                 F
I remember traffic jams
Em                      F
Motor boys and girls with tans
Em                      F
Nearly was and almost rans
Em                F
I remember this, this

| Em    | F    |
| Em    | F    |
| Em    | F    |
| Em    | F    |

[Chorus]
Em    F               Em
Low ebb, high tide
        F                         Em
The lowest ebb and highest tide
   F                           Em
I guess we took us for a ride
   F                         Em     Asus2
I guess it's just a gesture

[Outro]
           Em   Asus2   Em       Asus2
At the end of the continent
            Em   Asus2   Em        Asus2
At the edge of a continent
