The Sun
[Verse 1]
F
if you look real high
F
you just might find
Am
sitting in the stars
glistening, glistening
F F
waiting for the band to come
Am
just waiting for that man to come
Dm
oh, I wonder...
[Chorus]
F Am Dm C A#
slip on down from that sun to climb
F Am Dm C A#
down to earth and down to things like time
F Dm Am
because we are all, we are all just lovers
F Dm Am
born of earth and light like all these others
[Verse 2]
F
if you're talking to the moon
Dm
the moon might sing about
Am
the universe shouting out I don't need, I don't need
F Dm Am
time i breathe in time
F Dm Am
where, where are we now?
F Dm Am
where, where are we now?
[Chorus]
F Am Dm C A#
slip on down from that sun to climb
F Am Dm C A#
down to earth and down to things like time
F Dm Am
because we are all, we are all just lovers
F Dm Am
born of earth and light like all these others
[Bridge]
N.C.
if you're looking for the river
just find the mouth
it's grinding like gnashing teeth foaming out, foaming out
mixing up that hell to come
just mixing up the hell to come
[Verse 3]
F Dm
and it's fixing up to swallow me whole
Am
fixing up to swallow me whole
F Dm
fixing up to swallow my soul
Dm
fixing up to swallow me whole
[Instrumental]
Dm Am Dm Am Dm
[Chorus]
F Am Dm C A#
slip on down from that sun to climb
F Am Dm C A#
down to earth and down to things like time
F Dm Am
because we are all, we are all just lovers
F Dm Am
born of earth and light like all these others
F Dm Am
we are all, we are all
where, Where are we now?
F Dm Am
we are all, we are all
where, Where are we now?
F Dm Am
we are all, we are all
where, Where are we now?
oh, I wonder

Then repeat (Part 1) twice.
It might not be exactly that, but its damn close. They might not play
the end part of the riffs from 1:09 and 2:42 three times, hard to tell.
Some people might want to play certain parts at different positions on
the neck, just depends on your style of play.
