Hope you like it and I'm open for any improvements!

Intro slide E minorEm 2x (2nd fret,5,7,9,10,12,14)
And for the verses

E minorEm
Who did you say you were?
I didn't catch your name
E minorEm
Falling down to earth
Down from a higher plane
E minorEm
Oh, it's been decades
Say, what did you see?
E minorEm
Oh, I've been so lonely
Won't you keep me company?

C majorC A minorAm E minorEm 2x

E minorEm
Do you remember me?
We met out on the farm
E minorEm
By the fire, you spoke to me
And held me in your arms
E minorEm
The songs you played for me
I long to understand
E minorEm
All along the watchtower
And castles made of sand

C majorC        A minorAm       E minorEm
When there was a wilderness, we wandered wild and free
C majorC         A minorAm       E minorEm
Guilt, she is the governess that guides me back to grief
C majorC        A minorAm       E minorEm
What if we were dumb enough to spend eternity
C majorC       A minorAm    E minorEm        A augmentedA
Gathering the garbage washed up on the beach?

A augmentedA
Ahhh

E minorEm slide 1x

E minorEm
Do you remember me?
We spoke by telephone
E minorEm
The bad connection had a meaning of its own
E minorEm
Of all the good and all the stupid shit I've done
E minorEm
The worst was all for me
Not hurting anyone

C majorC A minorAm E minorEm 3x

C majorC        A minorAm        E minorEm
When there was a wilderness, I wandered wild and free
C majorC        A minorAm        E minorEm
Guilt, she is the governess that guides me back to grief
C majorC        A minorAm        E minorEm
Wish that I was old enough to end the century
C majorC        A minorAm    E minorEm        A augmentedA
Gather all the garbage washed up on the beach

A augmentedA
Ahhh
