VERSES: 
     A              E 
On a distant shore, miles from land 
G                                    D 
Stands the ebony totem in ebony sand, 
  A                  E 
A dream in a mist of grey 
B                A 
On a far distant shore 
 

A                          E 
The pebble, it stood alone 
G                             D 
And driftwood lies half buried 
A                          E 
Warm , shallow water sweeps shells 
B              A 
So the cockles shine 
 

A                      E 
A bare, winding carcas stalk 
G                              D 
Shimmers as flies scoop up meat 
A 
An empty way, 
B          A 
Dry Tears 
 

A                         E 
Crisp flax squeaks   Tall reeds 
      G              D 
Make a circle of grey  
     A 
In a summer way, around man 
B         A 
 so don't drown
