Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse1
( picking, slow changes )
Gentle thoughts meander through the sands,
As the ship-made currents reach the land.
The omniscient sun paving through the sky
and when it's done all the seabirds fly.
Verse2
( picking, same chords)
I'd like to stay, but I couldn't stay with you
I have to go. I have alot I want to do.
'cause pleasures be, waiting by the sea
with a smile for all the world to see.
Chorus
( strum chords with fast changes )
Diamond waves to sunlight days go by.
So beautiful to be here and alive.
Though I build sometimes so hard did I survive
( back to slow picking )
Feel us shaking.
Feel us shaking.
Repeat for Verse3 and Verse4 w same chorus.
Note: On the Leno show, Sean Kelly picked the last string on the D
with the pinky off and then on to get a little sound to set
up his voice.
Do this on every D except in the chorus.
"Lader hosen."
