1st VERSE:
Em E7sus4
"On the first part of the journey
Em E7sus4
I was looking at all the life
Em E7sus4
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em E7sus4
There was sand and hills and rings
Em E7sus4
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
Em E7sus4
And the sky with no clouds
Em E7sus4
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
Em E7sus4
But the air was full of sound".
(It's the same for the rest of the song; in order to play this song
just like it sounds, I recommend you to play the "big strings"(E,A and D)
alone before every Em Chord part;I mean: play 022---, before playing the whole
chord:022000)
