TUNING: D G D G A D or E A E A B E
Gsus2 F Gsus2 F
WGsus2ho has dressed you in stFrange clothes of sGsus2and'
WEbmaj7ho has taken you fDsus2ar from my land'
Gsus2Who has said that my saFyings are wGsus2rong
Ebmaj7And who will sDsus2ay that I staGsus2yed much too long
CHORUS:
Ebmaj7Clothes of saFnd have coGsus2vered your face
Ebmaj7Given you meaning but tDsus2aken my place
Ebmaj7 F Gsus2 Gsus2/F Gsus2/E
So make your way on down to the sea
Ebmaj7Something has taDsus2ken you sGsus2o far from me F Gsus2
Does it now seem worth all the colour of skies
To see the earth through painted eyes
To look through panes of shaded glass
See the stains of winter's grass'
Can you now return to from where you came
Try to burn your changing name
Or with silver spoon and coloured light
Will you worship moons in winter's night
CHORUS:
Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me Gsus2 F
Gsus2 F Ebmaj7 Dsus2 Gsus2/F Gsus2/E

NOTES: My ear isn't good enough to give the full picking pattern, but
listen to the record and you can get very close. It is important to
emphasise the base note (the bottom note of each chord). Also, before
playing the Ebmaj7 chord, always hit the 6th string open base note first
(D) then the Eb base note then the rest of the picking pattern.
