Opel by Syd Barrett Opel Notes about the song: It seems to be in 6/8 (or 3/4, I guess) time INTRO TAB: h means hammer on, / means slide A +-----------------------------------------0----------------------------+ +-----------------------------------------2----------------------------+ +-----------------------------------------2----------------------------+ +---------------------------------0-h2-0--2----------------------------+ +-4h5-4-------2h3-2-------0-h2-0----------0----------------------------+ +-0---0-5/2-0-0---0---0-2-----------------x----------------------------+ VERSES: A E On a distant shore, miles from land G D Stands the ebony totem in ebony sand, A E A dream in a mist of grey B A On a far distant shore. A E The pebble, it stood alone G D And driftwood lies half buried A E Warm, shallow water sweeps shells B A So the cockles shine. A E A bare, winding carcas stalk G D Shimmers as flies scoop up meat. A An empty way, B A Dry Tears. A E Crisp flax squeaks. Tall reeds G D Make a circle of grey A In a summer way, around man B A so don't drown BRIDGE: (This is the long section of strummed chords. I'll count measures in 6/8 in the following way: ------ ------ ------ G C D means A measure of G, one of C and one of D) unusual chords used: Cadd9: x32030 begin bridge: ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Cadd9 C Bb Cadd9 C Bb F Am ------ ------ E ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ C7 F F# G A D G ------ ------ (still G) This is then repeated, except that the second time I think that the first chord is C7 instead of Cadd9. CLOSING: (Note, I am highly uncertain -even moreso than I am about the rest of this song- about the "accuracy" of the transcription here. Correct me, please!) unusual chords used: I don't know what to call these things, but they're based on the chord x02200 which I think is either A5 or Asus2. The chords and my (incorrect) names for them are: A: x02220 A5: x02200 A5addF#: x02202 A5addG#: x02204 Begin closing: A A5addG# I'm trying A A5addG# I'm trying A5addF# A5 To find you A5addF# A5 To find you A A5addG# I'm living A A5addG# I'm giving A5addF# A5 To find you A5addF# A5 To find you The next part I think uses only the A chord: A I'm living I'm living I'm trying I'm giving (Switch at this point to A5 and diddle with it for a while) --------------- version 2 Chords used: A : 557655 E : 022100 G : 320003 D : x00232 A : x02220 B : 779877 Cadd9 : x32030 C : x32010 Bb : x1333x F : 113211 F# : 224322 G : 335433 D(X) : 10-10-12-11-10-10 Esus4 : x22200 C7 : x32310 R : x00235 S : x00234 T : x00230 Asus9 : x02200 [A] : x0222x +-----------------------------------------0----------------------------+ +-----------------------------------------2----------------------------+ +-----------------------------------------2----------------------------+ +---------------------------------0-h2-0--2----------------------------+ +-4h5-4-------2h3-2-------0-h2-0----------0----------------------------+ +-0---0-5/2-0-0---0---0-2-----------------x----------------------------+ A E On a distant shore, miles from land G D Stands the ebony totem in ebony sand, A E A dream in a mist of grey B A On a far distant shore.
