Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse1

( picking, slow changes )

Gentle thoughts meander through the sands,

As the ship-made currents reach the land.

The omniscient sun paving through the sky

and when it's done all the seabirds fly.

Verse2

( picking, same chords)

I'd like to stay, but I couldn't stay with you

I have to go. I have alot I want to do.

'cause pleasures be, waiting by the sea

with a smile for all the world to see.

Chorus

( strum chords with fast changes )

Diamond waves to sunlight days go by.

So beautiful to be here and alive.

Though I build sometimes so hard did I survive

( back to slow picking )

Feel us shaking.

Feel us shaking.

Repeat for Verse3 and Verse4 w same chorus.

Note: On the Leno show, Sean Kelly picked the last string on the D

with the pinky off and then on to get a little sound to set

up his voice.

Do this on every D except in the chorus.

"Lader hosen."
