#------------------------------------------------------------------------------## by The Samples Intro: ( picking ) D Em G Verse1: ( picking, slow changes ) D Em G Gentle thoughts meander through the sands, D Em G As the ship-made currents reach the land. D Em G The omniscient sun paving through the sky D Em G and when it's done all the seabirds fly. Verse2: ( picking, same chords) I'd like to stay, but I couldn't stay with you I have to go. I have alot I want to do. 'cause pleasures be, waiting by the sea with a smile for all the world to see. Chorus: ( strum chords with fast changes ) G D Em Diamond waves to sunlight days go by. G D Em So beautiful to be here and alive. G D Em G Though I build sometimes so hard did I survive ( back to slow picking ) D Gm Feel us shaking. D Gm Feel us shaking. Repeat for Verse3 and Verse4 w same chorus. Note: On the Leno show, Sean Kelly picked the last string on the D with the pinky off and then on to get a little sound to set up his voice. Do this on every D except in the chorus. -- *********************************************** Computer Operations "Lader hosen."
