Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Superbly beautiful and warm song. Also check this out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UMkGRjyoSo . I tabbed the album version - only
difference in the last 'ooh boy, ooh boy'
which changes from E to A to E instead of staying on the E. It's a definite improvement
though, so when you're playing without the CD/LP on, I'd suggest the youtube progression.
GUITAR 1 (acoustic & strumming, while alternating between the E and A string till 'don't
let the swell... ', where it'll take refuge in just strumming)
[E]
[E]The fire's out, the sun is down
On the beach we were
Oh, my stars, they're soaring again
And you've gone on to leave your breath
[B]Don't [A]let the [E]swell calm down
The [B]water is [A]drowning our [E]faith
[B]Don't [A]let the [E]evil light [B]carry our [A]own [E]weight
And [B]carry our [A]souls [E]away
[E]Ooh, boy, it's a[A] long[E] way,
A (E|-3b4-0-|)E
It's a long way home (play 2x)
[E]Ooh, boy, ooh boy
It's a long [A]way [E]home (play 2x)
GUITAR 2 (acoustic and filling up space)
Fig 1, during intro, till 'don't let the swell calm down')

GUITAR 3 (electric, heavily distorted, reverbed, tape delayed does some random stuff
with these notes and a slide. Tabbed out the first part, the rest is pretty much untabable,
random slide-movements will produce perfect results!)
