Shingle song / Peter Hammill

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

F#m Bm

You can see in the last light that's graced as dawn

Bm F#m

that there's nothing in my heart but pain

F#m Bm

as I stand, facing sea, knowing that you're gone

Bm F#m

all the elements rage to explain

F#m E Esus4 E F#m

that I should really be on my way;

F#m

but there is something

E F#m

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...]

F#m G#m A G#m A G#m A

Bm A G#m

A G#m A G#m A

G#m

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.
