VERSES: 
 
A E 
On a distant shore, miles from land 
G D 
Stands the ebony totem in ebony sand, 
A E 
A dream in a mist of grey 
B A 
On a far distant shore. 
 
 
A E 
The pebble, it stood alone 
G D 
And driftwood lies half buried 
A E 
Warm, shallow water sweeps shells 
B A 
So the cockles shine. 
 
 
A E 
A bare, winding carcas stalk 
G D 
Shimmers as flies scoop up meat. 
A 
An empty way, 
B A 
Dry Tears. 
 
 
A E 
Crisp flax squeaks. Tall reeds 
G D 
Make a circle of grey 
A 
In a summer way, around man 
B A 
so don‘t drown 
 
 
BRIDGE: 
 
(This is the long section of strummed chords. I‘ll count measures 
in 6/8 in the following way: 
 
------ ------ ------ 
G C D means a measure of G, one of C and one of D) 
 
 
unusual chords used: 
Cadd9: x32030 
 
 
begin bridge: 
 
------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ 
Cadd9 C Bb Cadd9 C Bb F Am 
 
------ ------ 
E 
 
 
------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ 
C7 F F# G A D G 
 
------ ------ 
(still G) 
 
 
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: 
 
A: x02220 
A5: x02200 
A5addF#: x02202 
A5addG#: x02204 
 
Begin closing: 
 
A A5addG# 
I‘m trying 
 
A A5addG# 
I‘m trying 
 
A5addF# A5 
To find you 
 
A5addF# A5 
To find you 
 
A A5addG# 
I‘m living 
 
A A5addG# 
I‘m giving 
 
A5addF# A5 
To find you 
 
A5addF# A5 
To find you 
 
The next part I think uses only the A chord: 
 
A 
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)
