Play chords loose and sloppy    tri=triplets
 
 
You have to speed through these a bit quicker than equal notes.

G = 354433
F#m7 = 242222
B7: X21202
Am7 = X02010

Intro:
E   Cmaj7  Gmaj7
 
E                    Cmaj7                Gmaj7
Said the straight man      to the late man
               F#m7    B7
Where have you bee  ---en
E                  Cmaj7
I've been here and       I've been there
     Gmaj7                   F#m7    B7
And        I've been in  betwee --- een.
 
 
 E     A6add9      E
I talk to the wind
             A6add9            E
My words are all carried away
       A6add9       Am7
I talk to the wind
              B7         Am7
The wind does not hear
         B7 (7 fr.)
The wind cannot hear.
 
E ... (and so on)
 
I'm on the outside looking inside
What do I see
Much confusion, disillusion
All around me.
 
 
You don't possess me
Don't impress me
Just upset my mind
Can't instruct me or conduct me
Just use up my time
 
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear.
 




 
Epitaph:
 






Note: This song is great to improvise around with E minor and it's relative modes*
(or E harmonic minor during the B major chords)
 
   Em            D
The wall on which the prophets wrote
   Am              B
Is cracking at the seams.
 Em         D
Upon the instruments of death
Am                    B
The sunlight brightly gleams.
Em                D
When every man is torn apart
Am                  B
With nightmares and with dreams,
     Em         D
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
Am                  B
When silence drowns the screams.
 
 
Em                   Bm
Confusion will be my epitaph.
     Em              Bm
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
      Em                 Bm
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh.
 
      C      Am            Bm
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
      C      Am            Bm
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
      C                    B
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
 
  Em           D
Between the iron gates of fate,
Am                 B
The seeds of time were sown,
    Em           D
And watered by the deeds of those
    Am         B
Who know and who are known;
Em            D
Knowledge is a deadly friend
   Am           B
If no one sets the rules.
    Em            D
The fate of all mankind I see
   Am              B
Is in the hands of fools.
 
 
(instrumental part)
 
     Em            D
The wall on which the prophets wrote
   Am              B
Is cracking at the seams.
 Em         D
Upon the instruments of death
Am                    B
The sunlight brightly gleams.
Em                D
When every man is torn apart
Am                  B
With nightmares and with dreams,
     Em         D
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
Am                  B
When silence drowns the screams.
 
Em                   Bm
Confusion will be my epitaph.
     Em              Bm
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
      Em                 Bm
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh.
 
      C      Am            Bm
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
      C      Am            Bm
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
