Here's another enjoyable sad song. Play all the F#m and Bm chords on the first verse without letting the higher (6th) string sound. The other verses - you shouldn't give a damn, and I didn't check whether Hammill did at all. The E and Esus4 chords are not played on the 0 position (the end of the neck) but in the way I show (I hope). You can ignore it if it makes you busy and just play it on the more comfortable position. Don't forget to sing it in a VERY low bass voice...
The lyrics were typed by somebody to cs.uwp.edu. I don't know who sould get the credit for that, but he deserves it, anyhow...
F#m: 2-4-4-3-2-2 on first verse better do: 2-4-4-3-2-x Bm: 2-2-4-4-3-2 on first verse better do: 2-2-4-4-3-x E: x-x-6-4-5-4 or: x-7-9-9-9-x Esus4: x-x-x-4-5-5 or: x-7-9-9-10-x G#m: 4-6-6-4-4-4 A: 5-7-7-6-5-5
You can see in the last light that's graced as dawn
that there's nothing in my heart but pain
as I stand, facing sea, knowing that you're gone
all the elements rage to explain
that I should really be on my way;
but there is something
which ensures I must stay.
Beneath the roar of the seething surf, beneath the caterwaul of scattered call wind thoughts and gestures unspoken, unheard-- and now the dance of rapture begins as the waves rush along across the beach: like you, like your love forever out of reach.
[Instrumental Verse: - You'll have to figure out the rhythm yourself...]
Look at the sky, but it's empty now; look at the sea, it holds nothing but despair. I raise my eyes, but my head stays bower... I look to my side, but you're not there. And I can't get you out of my mind, no, no, no, no, I just can't get you from my mind.
Have fun and try not to sink down when playing this one.
