Playing tips
See the Playing tips for "Giant Squid".
INTRO: Bass plays d, then { E G D } x3, but bass keeps playing d throughout the first part of verse.
E G D
I want to paint you long poems full of fire,
E G D
you who I do not know.
D (D7 D6 Dm) (these three chords in brackets are optional, I play them for my own pleasure)
Now my mind is tested with love which
D
twists and wavers from side to side and which
D
some day soon you may see...
E G
I want you to cascade
D
through ten thousand rainbows with me
E G D
and dredge mountains from the sea:
E G D
you who I now begin to know.
But emotion is pent up inside,
too scared of dying again to live
and meanwhile I must endure your
red-copper hair screaming like a water-baby.
Black eyes stare from my ceiling...
you who I now truly know.
Long organ Solo and Bridge follow, ending up with come-back to the main E G D sequence x2 E etc.
Now I cannot see too clearly
and already my trellis stands bare.
How can I break free of these overclinging arms
which entwine and enfold me
and reach to the clear blue sea?
I want you to know, but how can I tell you?
I want you to see but my own eyes are blind.
E G G#
The Octopus now enfolds me,
A A# etc. to D
I know you too well...
