Shingle Song

Tom: F#m

      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  E4 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  Abm  A  Abm  A  Abm  A
Bm  A  Abm
A  Abm  A  Abm  A
Abm

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.
