Chords with lyrics
This song is an epic, a true masterpiece from the album Having A augmentedA Beard Is The New Not Having A augmentedA Beard. This
has the potential to be a great campfire song. Add incomprehensible wailing near the end of the song for
dramatic effect.
With the intro you can play around with the D MajorD and E minorEm chords using the 2nd and 3rd frets on the high e. Some
chords require a bit of a staccato strum. Try and find the timings, it's easy enough once you get the rhythm.
The end gets hard to tab, just follow the chords and improvise, maybe scream loudly about beards and you'll
get it.
- Jim

I've sat upon the mountains with the wind blowin' in my hair

I've watched the sun rays sparkle on the sea

I've laid in the water and I've soared above the ground
E MajorE A augmentedA
I've sat in the silence and I've listened to the sound

And on the day I died

I crossed to the other side

I sang with the angels and I touched the face of God
