The middle 8 proved a tricky beast to tame. I think it's OK though. Had to
work some of it out on piano and the middle 8 chords don't translate as well
to a guitar with standard tuning. It's a fantastic song though, so I hope
you enjoy playing it.

Tuning: Standard

VERSE 2: As verse 1 except last line

     Sun, siftin' thru the grey
     Enter in, reach me with a ray
     Silently swoopin' down
     Just to show me

     And once a crystal choir

     Appeared while I was sleepin' and called my name

     And when they came down nearer

     Then a new song was sung

     Until somewhere we breathed as one

E|--x----0-------1----------3----------------|

     And still I hear their whisper

VERSE 3:
Stars, burstin' in the sky
Hear the sad nova's dyin' cry
Shimmerin' memory
Come and hold me
While you show me how to fly

VERSE 4:
Sun, siftin' thru the grey
Enter in, reach me with a ray
Silently swoopin' down
Just to show me
How to give my heart away

MIDDLE 8:
And lately sparklin' hosts
Come fill my dreams descendin' on firey beams
I've seen 'em come clear down
Where our poor bodies lay
Soothe us gently and say,
"Gonna wipe all your tears away" And still I hear their whisper

VERSE 5:
Love risin' from the mists
Promise me this and only this
Holy breath touchin' me
Like a wind song
Sweet communion of a kiss...
