From CD: Ichabod's Geography
Cross the Rainbow Bridge
The Valkyries await
Your sapphire visage
Don't be late
Resist the phage
La la la, la la la, lounging in La La Land
Lyse the lullaby
As it lofts away
Your sapphire syllabai
Don't be late
Lounging in La La Land
Scrounging for a hand
Carousing with repetitive railmen
I'm lounging in La La Land
Rhythm in the Ether world
Soon the connection ends
Your sapphire girl
Hauntingly she grins
Her Duke of Earl
KEY Dm
verse:
Dm F Dm F-E7
prechorus:
Gm A7

F Gm E7 A7 Dm
Background
When first started playing the autoharp, I would learn a strum pattern from an autoharp book by Meg Peterson. Once I learned the strum pattern, I wrote a song to remember it. This was one of those songs that was inspired by my own dreamy attitude, a little Norse mythology, and more than a touch of nonsense.
