Em7(1) ||: Em7(1) Am(2) :|| repeat twice
All along the ancient wastes the thin reflections spin
That gather all the times and tides at once we love within
C D GThat build the edges round the shrouds that cloud the setting sun
D G D G C D GAnd carry us to other days and other days to one
And full the single stillness of the mirror that is made
C D GBy each and every one of all the colours in a shade
C D GInside each eye is sitting like the sword inside the blade
And longs for once upon a chance to open loves cascade
D C G C D GFor here we stand hand to hand
DFighting for the promised land
And you try to tell me with consternation
That you have found me a brand new lock
Cmaj7 B11 Em7(1)Then you try to warn me that there's only one combination
Am Em7(1) DOne new sling the same old rock
There was a famous stragler stood on the edge of time
Emaj A D AWho held the staff but did not feel the pain
G D A E AHe multiplied the mystery with utterance sublime
And crossed his heart for those who died insane
G D A E AHis friend a restless mouthpiece seven thousand years of age
D ATrends to flash a face to shape his ways
Everlasting light is burning bright inside his cage
D AHe's only got to breathe to fan the blaze
G D A E ASuch a groove to have him here on board her ladyship
The man who makes his living out of bed
G D A E A (diminuendo...)
Such a gas to see him flying through his ceaseless lip
(no chord)
One day someday soon he'll lose his head
And withering in the galleries with eyes fixed on the door
D AAre who and you and me and thanks a lot
G D A E AAnd those who see but cannot stand to walk on any floor
For fear that good is something bad is not
G D A E ABut loud and clear is the call
DIn black and white across your wall
And Damn it all man
E7Can't you see?

NOTES
I'm not at all sure what the best way to convey some of the twiddley
details is, but I'll try my best to do it in TAB...
The usual TAB notation, plus: ^ = down strum, v = up strum (which
looks backwards until you think about it...) and -> = hammer on or
pull off (the direction should be obvious), __ = slur (slide the notes
smoothly together). Timing is whole beat ticks under the TAB.
