Prince Of Tides Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

E A B A B throughout

The sun, red and enormous, began to sink into the western sky. and simultaneously the

moon began to rise on the other side of the river with its own glorious shade of red,

coming up out of

Trees like a russet firebird. the sun and the moon seem to acknowledge each other and

they moved in both apposition and concordance in a breath taking dance of light across the

oaks and the palm

Father watched it and I thought he would cry again. he had returned to the sea, and his

heart was a low country heart.

Verse

AAfrican drums are Esilent and the AWingos are poets at Elast

AOut on Dafuskie IsEland, the buBlldozers bury the past

And the Alow country sinks, she cEan not swim

The doAgwood feels the Bhurt

While the fouArsome plays on boErrowed days in their aBlligator shirts

Chorus

DNow I rAealizEe who kDilled the PriAnce of TEides

DHow can you tAell how it uEsed to be

DWhen there's Anothin' left to Bsee D A

One night they put a price on the sunset

And that got the whole world shaking

They rose from the grave both the weak and the brave

'Cause history was there for the makin'

And the winos surrounded the condos forming a frail human fence

And they shouted out loud to the roar of the crowd

"Same old story, more dollars than sense"

Chorus

Now I realize who killed the Prince of Tides

How can you tell how it used to be

When there's nothin' left to see

"The white porpoise comes to me at night, singing in the river of time, with a thousand

dolphins in radiant attendance, bringing charismatic greetings from the Prince of Tides."
