Em          F
I remember redwood trees,
 Em              F
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

     Em         F
And history is made
 Em         F              Em  F
History is made to seem unfair

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
I guess we took us for a ride
   Em
I guess it's just a gesture

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

Chorus

       Em
At the end of the continent
At the edge of  a  continent
