INTRO
[F#maj7] [Emaj7] (x2)
[D#7sus4] [D#7] [C#m7] (x2)
[F#maj7] [Emaj7] (x2)
VERSE 1
Up [Emaj7] on the spot that [Bm7] time forgot
And [G/D] maps don’t [A/B] mean a [Emaj7] thing
The [Emaj7] tripod stood, the [Bm7] camera shook
And [G/D] winter [A/B] turned to [Emaj7] spring
CHORUS 1
The [C#m7] money came from [F#m7] up the coast
And [A/B] hunters [B7] followed [Emaj7] on
The [C#dim] sun was down, the [Abmaj7] air was close
And [Amaj7] [F#7] [B7sus4] [B7]
VERSE 2
This [Emaj7] place, it could be [Bm7] Cookie Bay
With [G/D] out the [A/B] summer [Emaj7] rain
Now [C#7] nothing seems that [Bm7] far away
And [G/D] people [A/B] dress the [Emaj7] same
CHORUS 2
The [C#m7] shepherd herded [F#m7] down the hill
And [A/B] crossed the [B7] stretching [Emaj7] sound
The [C#dim] waves cut into [Abmaj7] solid rock
Ex [Amaj7] changing [F#7] rock for [B7sus4] sand [B7]
