 Can you remember, remember my name as I flow through

 your life a thousand oceans I have flown ooh and


 |Am |riff_1 |Am |riff_1 |


 cold, cold spirits of ice.

 All my life I am the echo of your past


 


 |C5 D5 | C5 D5|F5 G5 | |

 all your life shadows of another day

 A strand of silver hanging through the sky touching more than you

 Well the 9/4 parts gave me a bit of a headace, so I chose to put a 5/4


 measure there and keep the rest 4/4's. The accents in there come mostly


 at the 2nd half of each 1/4. (As one-AND-two-AND...)


 


 What to play on Am - riff_1: Basically it's just A5/Am through, but I noticed


 that it's easier to keep track of where you are, if you count the riffs


 especially, when you are singing. :)
