Intro - 1. Dsus2/F#, Dm/F, E 2. Dsus2/F#, F, E Also, remember the pauses; it's not entirely in 12/8. There's a rest beat in the A-section, so it's also in 15/8. D/F# Asus2/G# (15/8) The sands of time
E5 F#m/C# Are drifting sky D/F# Asus2/G# Fragments of E5 F#m/C# A life gone by D/F# (12/8) The lands of time
E
Are drawing near
F#m/C# G
Hear me Whisper
G Amaj7/G#
In your ear
(C#, F#, G, B)
All our struggles
D
Feel meant to last
(G#, A, D) Amaj7(#11)/G#
Until they drift into the past
D/F# Amsus2/G#
(15/8)
The strands of time
D E5
Haunt every thought
D/F# Pangs of guilt D6 E5 For what we've wrought D/F# (12/8) The lands of time E Keep drawing near; F#m/C# G Tear my mask off Amaj7/G# Face my fears
(C#, F#, G, B)
I tried to provide you
D
The best life I could
D (G#, A, D)
But the climate
Asus2 Emaj7/G#
Was darker than I understood
D/F# Asus2/G# (15/8) The sands of time
E5 F#m/C# Are drifting by D/F# Asus2/G# Fragments of E5 F#m/C# A lifeless sky.
