Also on various compilation CDs and _The Acoustic Adrian Belew_. The song is in implied E major. This is the arpeggiated rhythm part Fripp plays behind Belew's improvised slide guitar solos and the lyrics. Listen to the song to get how things fit together. I play it kind of like Adrian on _The Acoustic Adrian Belew_. The song is in three time, and really swings. If you're playing it on an acoustic, it should sound decent. If you're playing it on an electric, use a _very_ light distortion (mostly for warmth), light chorus/flange, a long delay, and compression. It will probably sound OK on a plain clean guitar with some reverb, but I thought I'd give you the full list! I recently saw Crimson live and verified my guesses, so I think this is pretty close. Intro: [A verse with no words, Adrian solos in E major and its related modes with a slide. He also puts lots of slide licks in when there are no words.] Verse 1: (Verse Riff) Stare at the window pane, (Verse Riff with alternate ending) Stare at the rain that's falling. Chorus: (Chorus Riff 1a) She waits in the air, Chrous Riff 1b) Matte Kudasai. (Chorus Riff 1a) She sleeps in a chair, (Chrous Riff 1c) (Chorus Riff 2a) In her sad America. (Chorus Riff 2b) [no lyrics] Verse 2: [same as Verse 1] Long, long is the night alone, Long, like the notes I'm sending.
