corrections welcome !
modifications to the nominal chord by indication of the string (1 is
high E) and fret.
example: E (3-0) = Em
[intro:]
2nd string: -----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--
3rd string: --2-4----------2-4-2-0- E (3-2)/B E(3-2) Bb (2-1) Bb
(2-0, 1-0) A (2-0)
pull 2&3 strings in intro way E (3-2)
Silently I rest in the tall green grass
Bb (2-1) A (2-0)
and look steadily upwards.
[in intro way] E (3-2)
Birds sing ceaselessly around me,
Bb (2-1) A (2-0)
and the blue of the sky surrounds me strangely.
E (3-2)
Out here, life is at its essence,
Bb (2-1) A (2-0)
and watches the world with innocent eyes;
E (3-2)
far from grime, far from rushing people
Bb (2-1) A (2-0)
it seems that I have found a tiny peace.
On the blue backdrop of the unknown
water droplets trace their paths;
on the sky, mortals hang on metal -
but who is to know how long either will last?
The lovely white clouds glide
across the sky and into my dreams...
I feel as though I had died some time ago:
now I'll wander with the clouds through eternal space.
