Gm*                    C (x32010@1)             B2*    B3*  
F (133211@1)     E (022100@1)  will I ever have to feel what those blades were about?

Gm*                        C (x32010@1)          B2*  B3*

   and somehow I am lowered onto the waves
Gm*                        C (x32010@1)         B2* B3*
