Album: Hobo With A Grin


E                             G#
She shook her head and I saw jewels
         A             B                    A
I saw golden trinkets hanging there and quivering
E                                 G#                   A
Then she told me, "Hey, I see the sea. Watch how the creases
             B
Form then disappear"
                   A
We saw a new day forming


E             B
The sun has risen now
     A                E
And set the fires/fibres burning
 E           B                     E
We got the feeling of riding the waves


Then light struck upon the brooding trees
Making one leaf seen transparent and then shimmering
Then an arc of fire was burning on the distant rim
Of the horizon and we gazed in awe

The sun has risen now
And set the fires/fibres burning
We got the feeling of riding the waves

Solo:

E  G# A B A
E  G# A B A


The sun has risen now
And set the fires/fibres burning
We got the feeling of riding the waves

Then she whispered, "Look, the honey-coloured ball
Is lifting its way into another morning"
Then she flicked the back of her neck, defiantly,
And for such gestures one could fall
Hopessly in love

For a lifetime

The sun has risen now
And set the fires/fibres burning
We got the feeling of riding the waves
