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:
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:
Begin closing:
I'm trying
I'm trying
To find you
To find you
I'm living
I'm giving
To find you
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)
