  Shingle song / Peter Hammill

  

  Here's another enjoyable sad song. Play all the F#m and Bm chords on the 

  first verse without letting the higher (6th) string sound. The other verses -

  you shouldn't give a damn, and I didn't check whether Hammill did at all.

  The E and Esus4 chords are not played on the 0 position (the end of the

  neck) but in the way I show (I hope). You can ignore it if it makes you busy

  and just play it on the more comfortable position.

  Don't forget to sing it in a VERY low bass voice... 

  

  The lyrics were typed by somebody to cs.uwp.edu. I don't know who sould get

  the credit for that, but he deserves it, anyhow...

  

  F#m:    2-4-4-3-2-2   on first verse better do: 2-4-4-3-2-x

  Bm:     2-2-4-4-3-2   on first verse better do: 2-2-4-4-3-x

  E:      x-x-6-4-5-4   or:  x-7-9-9-9-x

  Esus4:  x-x-x-4-5-5   or:  x-7-9-9-10-x

  G#m:    4-6-6-4-4-4

  A:      5-7-7-6-5-5

  

  

  

  		F#m                                    Bm

  You can see in the last light that's graced as dawn

  			 Bm                      F#m

  that there's nothing in my heart but pain

  	 F#m                                    Bm

  as I stand, facing sea, knowing that you're gone

  		Bm               F#m

  all the elements rage to explain

  	   F#m           E  Esus4 E  F#m

  that I should really be on    my way;

  			 F#m

  but there is something

  	  E              F#m

  which ensures I must stay.

  

  Beneath the roar of the seething surf,

  beneath the caterwaul of scattered call wind

  thoughts and gestures unspoken, unheard--

  and now the dance of rapture begins

  as the waves rush along across the beach:

  like you, like your love

  forever out of reach.

  

  

  [Instrumental Verse: - You'll have to figure out the rhythm yourself...]

  

  F#m  G#m  A  G#m  A  G#m  A

  Bm  A  G#m

  A  G#m  A  G#m  A  

  G#m 

  

  

  

  Look at the sky, but it's empty now;

  look at the sea, it holds nothing but despair.

  I raise my eyes, but my head stays bower...

  I look to my side, but you're not there.

  And I can't get you out of my mind,

  no, no, no, no, I just can't get you from my mind.

  

  

  

  Have fun and try not to sink down when playing this one.
