Intro:

[A verse with no words, Adrian solos in E major and its related modes with 
a slide.  He also puts lots of slide licks in when there are no words.]


Verse 1:

(Verse Riff)
Stare at the window pane,

(Verse Riff with alternate ending)
Stare at the rain that's falling.

Chorus:

(Chorus Riff 1a) 
She waits in the air,

Chrous Riff 1b)
Matte Kudasai.

(Chorus Riff 1a)
She sleeps in a chair,

(Chrous Riff 1c)

(Chorus Riff 2a)
In her sad America.

(Chorus Riff 2b)
[no lyrics]



Verse 2:

[same as Verse 1]

Long, long is the night alone,
Long, like the notes I'm sending.

Chorus

(*)  Fripp improvises on this bit, so try different things out.  Mostly 
triple stops.  e.g., 


  __5-sl-7__5-sl-7_|___
  __5-sl-7__5-sl-7_|___
  __4-sl-6__4-sl-6_|___

(Note:  this fingering is really tough.  I recommend doing stretching 
exercises before attempting it.  I recommend using a thumb fret for the 
bass string, but if you can finger it some other way, go for it!)

NOTE:  I forgot to indicate that you need to play each measure twice on 
Chrous Riffs 1a and 1b.  Please edit the file accordingly, replacing the 
line titled "segue -> Chorus Riff 1a    Chorus Riff 1b" in the original with
the lines below.
