I've seen him play it live a few times and this is definitly how he plays it. He hammers
his C's and F's. I have the patter at the bottom. Try playing it through first before u
the hammers, it helps. One of my favorite moody songs. enjoy. any questions drop me one.

     I don't remember what was said, in the confusion that night

    C (x32010@1)                                                                           F (133211@1)     G (320003@1)    Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme, lost in the desert of time
     I only know what's on my mind, what's in the future we will decide

       G (320003@1)                Dm (xx0231@1)               G (320003@1)    Time waits for no-one at all, no not even you
     Time waits for no-one at all, no not even you
     Time waits for no-one my love, no not even you

     I'm waking up, I'm reaching up, I'm getting up from this game

          G (320003@1)                        Dm (xx0231@1)   G (320003@1)             C (x32010@1)    Oh no, don't leave me driftwood on the shore                 (1)Go %(3)
