The biggest rock song on 'Sunset Studies,' and is in 4/4 and standard  
tuning. Play the big rawk riff in the middle to your heart's  
content. 
 
   F#m11 E      
To be  a bee, a moth 
F#m11                                   E 
Four wings spread for the soft last touch 
         A 
Of glory sun 
                  E                  A 
Remembering blood plums and lips and lemons 
                      E 
One hundred different suns  
                       D 
In a hundred different heavens 
F               A     D#m 
Spied from a rowboat, stroke 
    G        F#m 
And nought is spoken 
  A        D#m          G       E 
Before you know it the spell is broken 
D                E 
You might wonder where you are 
A        D#m    G      F#m11 
Floating on the reservoir 
       E 
I have counted the notes 
   F#m11 
We landed here not many years ago  
                        E               A 
And it was not a pretty song that we composed 
          E 
La la la, the early bird he knows 
    A 
You hang from the cherry bough 
            D                    F 
When you're lichen yourself, and leave 
    A         D#m      G        F#m  
The cold cold scent of stone and mulch 
   A         D#m      G         E 
A great stone wall to stave the rush 
   D                      E 
To think that peace might be too much 
A       D#m     C   B   
Waiting for the giant

    F#m11     E  
The lake, the fir fringed lake 
F#m11 
Placid and ample, birded, breezed and dappled 
            E 
Through the mountain break 
                     A 
Through the mountain break 
      E                A       D    F 
A moment, take a moment, a moment 
A  
You might wonder where you are 
D#m 
Perched above the reservoir 
G 
Adolf in the White hotel 
E 
All this time we've been in hell 
A        D#m     G         F#m 
You might wonder where you are 
A        D#m      G    E 
Perched above the reservoir 
D           E 
Luis of the Lake retire 
  A         D#m     D       A 
Before they set the lake on fire 
  A         E       D       A 
Before they set the lake on fire 
  A         E       C    B  F#m11      
Before they set the lake on fire. 
 
{play the F#m11 E progression a few times as the outro}
