it's not quite right -some of the lyrics are off and the chords in the closing sequence "I'm trying..." are only an approximation. If anyone out there plays this songs and has corrections, or different ways of playing parts of this song, I'd really appreciate hearing them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes about the song: It seems to be in 6/8 (or 3/4, I guess) time INTRO TAB: h means hammer on, / means slide +-----------------------------------------0----------------------------+ +-----------------------------------------2----------------------------+ +-----------------------------------------2----------------------------+ +---------------------------------0-h2-0--2----------------------------+ +-4h5-4-------2h3-2-------0-h2-0----------0----------------------------+ +-0---0-5/2-0-0---0---0-2-----------------x----------------------------+ VERSES: On a distant shore, miles from land Stands the ebony totem in ebony sand, A dream in a mist of grey On a far distant shore. The pebble, it stood alone And driftwood lies half buried Warm, shallow water sweeps shells So the cockles shine. A bare, winding carcas stalk Shimmers as flies scoop up meat. An empty way, Dry Tears. Crisp flax squeaks. Tall reeds Make a circle of grey In a summer way, around man so don't drown BRIDGE: (This is the long section of strummed chords. I'll count measures in 6/8 in the following way: ------ ------ ------ means measure of , one of and one of ) unusual chords used: : x32030 begin bridge: ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ (still ) This is then repeated, except that the second time I think that the first chord is C7 instead of Cadd9. CLOSING: (Note, I am highly uncertain -even moreso than I am about the rest of this song- about the "accuracy" of the transcription here. Correct me, please!) unusual chords used: I don't know what to call these things, but they're based on the chord x02200 which I think is either A5 or Asus2. The chords and my (incorrect) names for them are: : x02220 : x02200 A5addF#: x02202 A5addG#: x02204 Begin closing: A5addG# I'm trying A5addG# I'm trying A5addF# To find you A5addF# To find you A5addG# I'm living A5addG# I'm giving A5addF# To find you A5addF# To find you The next part I think uses only the A chord: I'm living I'm living I'm trying I'm giving (Switch at this point to A5 and diddle with it for a while) END
