Tuning: Normal tuning

This is great simple song that proves what you can do with three chords if you are
truly gifted! I worked it out by just strumming along and I'm sure this is spot on
for the chords. Sorry I'm not up to working out the full picking tab... simple chords
ony from me!

Goes on forever along the shoreline

                     
Never will end on the shores of my mind

                   
Travel along til the sleep takes me in

                       
Where have I ended where do I begin


                              
Sand blankets are littered with stones whipped across

                            
Dead things in the water forgotten or lost

                         
Branches have surfaces and now they are lean

                                  
Trees have washed up here stripped bare and washed clean


                          
The waves kiss and gently caress on the shore

                        
Kissing and winking and calling for more

                      
The waves like wagging tongues do adore

                             
And whisper the softly to the sand on the shore


                         
You would be nothing without me

          
I could be nothing

                  
Said the waves to the sand

                        
I could be nothing without you



These same chords are repeated through the rest of the song. The actual song uses
a picking style and a lot of banjo, but these chords work spot on to strum your guitar
and sing along around your campfire or along with the CD ;) For the rest of the lyrics
buy the CD because I'm not much of a typist.
