All along the ancient wastes the thin reflections spin
(G) DO RE SOL
That gather all the times and tides at once we love within
DO RE SOL
That build the edges round the shrouds that cloud the setting sun
RE SOL RE SOL DO RE SOL
And carry us to other days and other days to one
RE DO SOL DO RE SOL
And full the single stillness of the mirror that is made
DO RE SOL
By each and every one of all the colours in a shade
DO RE SOL
Inside each eye is sitting like the sword inside the blade
RE SOL RE SOL DO RE
And longs for once upon a chance to open loves cascade
RE DO SOL DO RE SOL
For here we stand hand to hand
RE
Fighting for the promised land
SOL RE DO SOL/SI LAm MIm RE
SOL SOL/FA# MIm7 MIm7(1)
And you try to tell me with consternation
LAm MIm7
That you have found me a brand new lock
DOmaj7 SI11 MIm7(1)
Then you try to warn me that there's only one combination
LAm MIm7(1) RE
One new sling the same old rock
(D) RE11 MIm7 MI7
There was a famous stragler stood on the edge of time
MImaj LA RE LA
Who held the staff but did not feel the pain
SOL RE LA MI LA
He multiplied the mystery with utterance sublime
RE LA
And crossed his heart for those who died insane
SOL RE LA MI LA
His friend a restless mouthpiece seven thousand years of age
RE LA
Trends to flash a face to shape his ways
SOL RE LA MI LA
Everlasting light is burning bright inside his cage
RE LA
He's only got to breathe to fan the blaze
SOL RE LA MI LA
Such a groove to have him here on board her ladyship
RE LA
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
SOL RE LA MI LA
And withering in the galleries with eyes fixed on the door
RE LA
Are who and you and me and thanks a lot
SOL RE LA MI LA
And those who see but cannot stand to walk on any floor
RE LA
For fear that good is something bad is not
SOL RE LA MI LA
But loud and clear is the call
RE
In black and white across your wall
LA
And Damn it all man
MI7
Can'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.
