Tabbed by: DJ
30th July 2013
With it s 5/4 time signature and tricky chords this can be difficult piece
to try and master. With the aid of a capo, I ve tried to make this song a
little bit easier to achieve for the average guitarist.
CAPO: 3rd fret (Sounds in key of C)
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
= x05500 = 577xxx = 022000 = x24232
= 303200 = 355xxx = x24432 = 075700
= xx0212 = x577xx = x02220 * = x07500

Let s get a - way, you say, find a better place,
Miles, and miles, a - way from the city s race,
Look--- around for someone lying--- in the sunshine,
Marking time, hear the sighs, close your eyes!
Ba---, da - pa, doo - dah! Ba---, da - pa, doo - dah, dow!
[Verse 2]

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Stepping from cloud to cloud, passing years of light,
Visit the frosty stars in the backward flight,
Souring--- round a visions, never mind the meaning hidden there,
Moving fast, it won t last!
Ba---, da - pa, doo - dah! Ba---, da - pa, doo - dah, dow!
[Verse 3]

Time passes all too soon, how it rushes by,
Now a thousand moons are a - bout to die,
No--- time to re - flect on what--- the time was spent on,
Nothing left, far a - way, dreamers fade!
Ba---, da - pa, doo - dah! Ba---, da - pa, doo - dah, dow!

Swirling, the waters rise up a - bove my head,
Gone are the curling mists, how they all have fled,
Look, the door is open, step--- into the space pro - vided there,
Di, oo - dah! Di, oo - dah!
Ba---, da - pa, doo - dah! Ba---, da - pa, doo - dah, dow!
