TAB FOR INTRO AND FIRST VERSE:

[The second and third verses are slightly different; if you want to get it
 exactly right, just listen to the recording.]
[An equal sign (=) is a hammer-on; *2 means quickly hammer-on from 0 to 2.]
[Accents are on the 1st, 4th, and 7th eighth notes of each measure; those are
 usually played by the thumb.  (In the recording, you can barely even hear
 the non-accented notes.)]
[Actually in G; capo at the 3rd fret.]

        night,             I        let him go.

LYRICS AND CHORDS:

[It's a judgement call as to whether the E7's are actually E's or E7's.
 And it doesn't really matter.]
[For the "I let him go" parts at the ends of the verses, play as many
 E - E74 sequences as is necessary, using the picking pattern from
 the last two measures of the first verse.]
[Capo 3.]

  My name is Calypso, and I have lived alone

  I live on an island, and I 'waken to the dawn

Long time ago,       I watched him struggle with the sea

  I knew that he was drowning, and I brought him in to me

He sails away; after       one       last night,      I let him go

My name is Calypso; my garden overflows
Thick and wild and hidden is the sweetness there that grows
My hair, it blows long as I sing into the wind
I tell of nights where I could taste the salt on his skin
Salt of the waves and of tears
And though he pulled away, I kept him here for years
Now I let him go

[Guitar solo: same chords as one verse, but for all the E - E74 parts,
 just play it like the "I let him go" parts at the end of the verses.]

My name is Calypso; I have let him go
In the dawn he sails away to be gone forever more
And the waves will take him in again, but he'll know their ways know
I will stand upon the shore with a clean heart and my song in the wind
The sand will sting my feet and the sky will burn
It's a lonely time ahead; I do not ask him to return; I let him go
I let him go
