Renaissance - Carpet Of The Sun guitar tab

#

Carpet of the Sun / Michael Dunford - Betty Thatcher

----------------------------------------------------

Performed by Renaissance on Ashes are Burning (1973)

Note that the seperation between bars (noted by "/", don't misunderstand me,

and play B / E as B chord on E bass...) is not very accurate. On the switches

between the B and the E there are 3/4 bar of B and then 5/4 of E.

Have fun - It's a great song!

intro B / E / B / E

B / E / B / E

B / E / B / E

1st verse:

B E

Come along with me

B E

Down into the world of seeing

B E

Come and you'll be free

B E

Take the time to find the feeling

D A

See everything on it's own

Bm G

And you'll find you know the way

D A

And you'll know the things you're shown

Bm G B / E / B / E

Owe everything to the day

Chorus:

B E

See the carpet of the sun

B E

The green grass soft and sweet

B E

Sands upon the shores of time

B E

Of ocean mountain deep

G E B

Part of the world that you live in

G E B / E / B / E

You are the part that you're giving

2nd Verse: (Same chords)

Come into the day

Feel the sunshine warmth around you

Sounds from far away

Music of the love that found you

The seed that you plant today

Tomorrow will be a tree

And living goes on this way

It's all part of you and me

Chorus: (Repeat the same chords, and then:)

A / D / E / E / B / B

D (long - pause)

On the lyric sheet that comes with the record, there is also this verse, which

is not sung, but you may try it as well:

Come along and try

Looking into ways of giving

Maybe we will fly

Find a dream that we will live in

We'll look into the eyes of time

Past ages have turned to dust

And born somewhere on the line

The loving that grows with us
