Text File

My favourite levs song, 
Its not exactly like the record, but then the levs play it differently every time. 
Just play it and see how it sounds.  
The open strings and () are mostly incidental and not part of the tune

the 5/4 bar exists in some live performances, 
whether it was intentional i don't know, 
but i like it. so i play it in everytime

[Use a riff sim to intro for verse]

D5
So I find myself among
                       Fmaj7
The brave Southwestern hills
                             D5
Running like a madman on the moor

D5
Let the sweet Atlantic rain
             Fmaj7
Wash away my ill's
                                  D5
Men-An-Tol shone strangely in the storm


picked

Fmaj7
I get the strangest feeling
Dsus2
In the air around
Fmaj7                          Dsus2
It's more than just a feeling
Fmaj7
A different way of seeing
Dsus2
A different kind of life
Fmaj7                          Dsus2
Something I believe in


    Am
But in amongst the city lights
    Dsus2
The feeling's not so clear
Am
Faceless signs and neon lights
Dsus2
Hide what I hold dear
F
It's there to find if you have the mind
G   (N.C)
And you don't live in fear of it

I rest among what still remains
Of lives that passed before
Lighting strikes the top of Zennor Tor
I find myself amazed again
At man's pathetic score
Years of knowledge wasted and ignored

There we go. Think thats it.  
The electric gtr parts follow along the same lines - with plenty of drive:) .
There's hammers and Pulloffs partic. at the end of lines which are fairly easy to work out.
