Intro:
D MajorD C majorC G+G E minorEm x2


Verse:
D MajorD        C majorC       G+G   E minorEm
  I said, "I'm just a servant to my base desires"
D MajorD         C majorC       G+G       E minorEm
  She said, "I'll tell you a few things, free of charge:
D MajorD         C majorC      G+G        E minorEm
  Steer clear of jagged rock, tread careful at the higher level
D MajorD         C majorC       G+G   E minorEm         D MajorD C majorC G+G E minorEm
  This ain't no game, but you can play if that's what you want"

D MajorD C majorC G+G E minorEm

        D MajorD      C majorC     G+G    E minorEm
Then she said, "We are just paper boats bobbing adrift afloat
D MajorD         C majorC        G+G        E minorEm
  While winds of fortune shove us where they will"
D MajorD        C majorC      G+G       E minorEm
Woke up coughing on the shore, cold outcrop broken, sore
D MajorD         C majorC      G+G         E minorEm
  Back on the mainland, the chimps were coming up trumps

Chorus:
     A augmentedA              C majorC
And all I saw was burning blue fading into blinding white
     G+G                 A augmentedA
Wade out past the rotting pier, out to the open water
     C majorC              G+G
Son of a red roof city, and her, the full moon's daughter
      A augmentedA           C majorC
Back on the mainland, back on the mainland
        G+G              E minorEm
Cool change was rolling over, black sky was getting lower
      D MajorD C majorC G+G E minorEm
On golden sand

D MajorD C majorC G+G E minorEm


Verse:
D MajorD       C majorC     G+G       E minorEm
  We stared into the haze, ocean merging with sky
D MajorD          C majorC       G+G   E minorEm
  And talked about the land of our fore-mothers
D MajorD         C majorC       G+G      E minorEm
  Now that we've shut the gate, it would be funny if it
D MajorD        C majorC        G+G
Didn't make you want to cry
    E minorEm
This is just the bed we've woken up in

Chorus:
     A augmentedA              C majorC
And all I saw was burning blue fading into blinding white
     G+G                 A augmentedA
Wade out past the rotting pier, out to the open water
     C majorC              G+G
Son of a red roof city, and her, the full moon's daughter
      A augmentedA           C majorC
Back on the mainland, back on the mainland
        G+G              A augmentedA
Cool change was rolling over, black sky was getting lower
         C majorC        G+G
Green dreams were folding over, as we sailed off the mainland


Solo:
A augmentedA C majorC G+G x4

A augmentedA            C majorC
  Never coming off the line
        G+G
Wake up feeling fine
            A augmentedA
Her eyes under pale moonlight
         C majorC
Far corner of the earth
          G+G
Tripping up on the edge
        A augmentedA C majorC G+G
Big impossible now


repeat through fade out:
A augmentedA C majorC G+G
