It seems to be in 6/8 (or 3/4, I guess) time

VERSES:
A EOn a distant shore, miles from land
G DStands the ebony totem in ebony sand,
A dream in a mist of grey
B AOn a far distant shore.
A E
The pebble, it stood alone
G DAnd driftwood lies half buried
Warm, shallow water sweeps shells
B ASo the cockles shine.
A E
A bare, winding carcas stalk
G DShimmers as flies scoop up meat.
An empty way,
B ADry Tears.
A E
Crisp flax squeaks. Tall reeds
G DMake a circle of grey
In a summer way, around man
B Aso don't drown
BRIDGE:
(This is the long section of strummed chords. I'll count measures
in 6/8 in the following way:
------ ------ ------
G C D means A measure of G, one of C and one of D)
unusual chords used:
begin bridge:
------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------
Cadd9 C Bb Cadd9 C Bb F Am------ ------
------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------
------ ------
(still G)
This is then repeated, except that the second time I think that
the first chord is C7 instead of Cadd9.
CLOSING:
(Note, I am highly uncertain -even moreso than I am about the rest of this
song- about the "accuracy" of the transcription here. Correct me, please!)
unusual chords used:
I don't know what to call these things, but they're based on
the chord x02200 which I think is either A5 or Asus2.
The chords and my (incorrect) names for them are:
A x02220A5 x02200Begin closing:
I'm trying
A A5addG#I'm trying
A5addF# A5To find you
To find you
A A5addG#I'm living
A A5addG#I'm giving
To find you
A5addF# A5To find you
The next part I think uses only the A chord:
AI'm living
I'm living
I'm trying
I'm giving
(Switch at this point to A5 and diddle with it for a while)
