Mountains of the Moon – Translucent Amber
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Stefan Premovic
Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ComjU8qBuM
Tuning: Half-step down, Capo on 4th fret over strings 1-5, low E string is open.
So we get – D#CFA#DG tuning.
Song is so good, that I had to write the tab as well. This is "Live from a rock" version,
which is tuned half-step lower than the studio version. Please note that notes played on
first 5 strings count from the capo(so, 3 on 5th string is actually on 7th fret), but notes
on low E string(6th string) count normally, from the guitar nut.
So, everything is within the grasp of the hand.

Lyrics:
/Verse 1/
You come
Shrouded for them to see
All of the sun
That you cover beneath
Unrevealed
/Verse 2/
And they walk
past you they don’t stop to think
All in a rush
To find what you could’ve been
Would’ve been
/Chorus 1/
Oh, you are the translucent amber
Unsung and so misunderstood
Yes, you are the translucent amber
In a sea of ceylon cedar wood
Ooooooooooooooh x4
/Verse 3/
In the fog
And their line of sight
Clouded up
We are where the wilderness meets the white
And that’s alright
/Chorus 2/
Oh, you are the translucent amber
Unsung and so misunderstood
Yes, you are the translucent amber
In a sea of ceylon cedar wood
Ooooooooooooooh x4
