Shingle Song

Written by Peter Hammill

	  		

      F#m                                    Bm 
You can see in the last light that's graced as dawn 
                   Bm                      F#m 
that there's nothing in my heart but pain 
       F#m                                    Bm 
as I stand, facing sea, knowing that you're gone 
            Bm               F#m 
all the elements rage to explain 
         F#m           E  E4 E  F#m 
that I should really be on    my way; 
                   F#m 
but there is something 
        E              F#m 
which ensures I must stay. 

Beneath the roar of the seething surf, 
beneath the caterwaul of scattered call wind 
thoughts and gestures unspoken, unheard-- 
and now the dance of rapture begins 
as the waves rush along across the beach: 
like you, like your love 
forever out of reach. 


Instrumental Verse: - You'll have to figure out the rhythm yourself... 

F#m  Abm  A  Abm  A  Abm  A 
Bm  A  Abm 
A  Abm  A  Abm  A 
Abm 

Look at the sky, but it's empty now; 
look at the sea, it holds nothing but despair. 
I raise my eyes, but my head stays bower... 
I look to my side, but you're not there. 
And I can't get you out of my mind, 
no, no, no, no, I just can't get you from my mind. 

Have fun and try not to sink down when playing this one.
