VERSES: 
     A5              E5 
On a distant shore, miles from land 
G5                                    D5 
Stands the ebony totem in ebony sand, 
  A5                  E5 
A dream in a mist of grey 
B5                A5 
On a far distant shore 
 

A5                          E5 
The pebble, it stood alone 
G5                             D5 
And driftwood lies half buried 
A5                          E5 
Warm , shallow water sweeps shells 
B5              A5 
So the cockles shine 
 

A5                      E5 
A bare, winding carcas stalk 
G5                              D5 
Shimmers as flies scoop up meat 
A5 
An empty way, 
B5          A5 
Dry Tears 
 

A5                         E5 
Crisp flax squeaks   Tall reeds 
      G5              D5 
Make a circle of grey  
     A5 
In a summer way, around man 
B5         A5 
 so don't drown
