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, that stood alone
G                             D
And driftwood lies half buried
A                          E
Warm, shallow waters sweep shells
B              A
So the cockles shine

A                      E
A bare, winding carcass stark
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
 stood on ground
