Ebmaj7 Dsus2 Who has taken you far from my land? Gsus2 F Gsus2 Who has said that my sayings are wrong Ebmaj7 Dsus2 Gsus2 And who will say that I stayed much too long CHORUS: Ebmaj7 F Gsus2 Clothes of sand have covered your face Ebmaj7 Dsus2 Given you meaning but taken my place Ebmaj7 F Gsus2 Gsus2/F Gsus2/E So make your way on down to the sea Ebmaj7 Dsus2 Gsus2 F Gsus2 Something has taken you so far from me Does it now seem worth all the colour of skies To see the earth through painted eyes To look through panes of shaded glass See the stains of winter's grass? Can you now return to from where you came Try to burn your changing name Or with silver spoon and coloured light Will you worship moons in winter's night CHORUS: Clothes of sand have covered your face Given you meaning but taken my place So make your way on down to the sea Something has taken you so far from me Gsus2 F Gsus2 F Ebmaj7 Dsus2 Gsus2/F Gsus2/E D --0--- --3--- --0--- --0--- --0--- --0--- A --0--- --0--- --1--- --0--- --0--- --0--- G --0--- --0--- --0--- --0--- --0--- --0--- D --0--- --3--- --1--- --0--- --0--- --0--- G --0--- --x--- --0--- --0--- --0--- --0--- D --x--- --3--- --1--- --0--- --3--- --2--- NOTES: My ear isn't good enough to give the full picking pattern, but listen to the record and you can get very close. It is important to emphasise the base note (the bottom note of each chord). Also, before playing the Ebmaj7 chord, always hit the 6th string open base note first (D) then the Eb base note then the rest of the picking pattern.
