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}
