   / Kashmir           /  I think this song is about the Americanization of the

/___________________/  we were never strong enough to resist it after all.


The verses (and the intro) are constructed with shifts between Em and A with a
fill between every shift. All measures go in 4/4 except for those indicated differently:

                     5/4
  | Em| (022000@1)Em| (022000@1)Asus4| (x02230@1)A| (x02220@1)
        3/4          5/4
  | Em| (022000@1)Em| (022000@1)Asus4| (x02230@1)A| (x02220@1)

Chorus:
In the verse, the fourth fill in the end of the last 5/4 A-measure is cut away,
which leaves a 2/4 A-measure and the chorus starts straight on after that.
