VERSES:
A E
On a distant shore, miles from land
G D
Stands the ebony totem in ebony sand,
A E
A dream in a mist of grey
B A
On a far distant shore.
A E
The pebble, it stood alone
G D
And driftwood lies half buried
A E
Warm, shallow water sweeps shells
B A
So the cockles shine.
A E
A bare, winding carcas stalk
G D
Shimmers as flies scoop up meat.
A
An empty way,
B A
Dry Tears.
A E
Crisp flax squeaks. Tall reeds
G D
Make a circle of grey
A
In a summer way, around man
B A
so don't drown
BRIDGE:
(This is the long section of strummed chords. I'll count measures
in 6/8 in the following way:
------ ------ ------
G C D means a measure of G, one of C and one of D)
unusual chords used:
Cadd9 x32030
begin bridge:
------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------
Cadd9 C Bb Cadd9 C Bb F Am
------ ------
E
------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------
C7 F F# G A D G
------ ------
(still G)
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:
A x02220
A5 x02200
A5addF# x02202
A5addG# x02204
Begin closing:
A A5addG#
I'm trying
A A5addG#
I'm trying
A5addF# A5
To find you
A5addF# A5
To find you
A A5addG#
I'm living
A A5addG#
I'm giving
A5addF# A5
To find you
A5addF# A5
To find you
The next part I think uses only the A chord:
A
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)
