Per a request, I am reposting this tab of....

"Cadence and Cascade"
King Crimson, from the 1970 album In The Wake of Poseidon
Written by Robert Fripp and Peter Sinfeld (lyrics)

(NOTE: This is not from any book, magazine, whatever, so it's not a
professional transcription, per se.  Still, this sounds pretty good. Please
E-Mail any comments to [email protected].)

(YET ANOTHER NOTE: there really is no need for a transcription key; this is a
simple accoustic song with no taps, slides, etc. Of course you may add what
you like to enhance the song).

(verse)
a: (instrumental)
b: Cadence  and  cascade   Kept a man    named Jade;
c: Cool   in the  shade   While his au-dience  played.
d: Sliding    mystified   On the wine    of the tide
e: Stared     pale-eyed   As his veil    fell aside.
