It seems to be in 6/8 (or 3/4, I guess) time

VERSES:
LA MI
On a distant shore, miles from land
SOL RE
Stands the ebony totem in ebony sand,
LA MI
A dream in a mist of grey
SI LA
On a far distant shore.
LA MI
The pebble, it stood alone
SOL RE
And driftwood lies half buried
LA MI
Warm, shallow water sweeps shells
SI LA
So the cockles shine.
LA MI
A bare, winding carcas stalk
SOL RE
Shimmers as flies scoop up meat.
LA
An empty way,
SI LA
Dry Tears.
LA MI
Crisp flax squeaks. Tall reeds
SOL RE
Make a circle of grey
LA
In a summer way, around man
SI LA
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:
DOadd9 x32030
begin bridge:
------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------
DOadd9 DO SIb DOadd9 DO SIb FA LAm
------ ------
MI
------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------
DO7 FA FA# SOL LA RE SOL
------ ------
(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:
LA x02220
LA5 x02200
LA5addF# x02202
LA5addG# x02204
Begin closing:
LA LA5addG#
I'm trying
LA LA5addG#
I'm trying
LA5addF# LA5
To find you
LA5addF# LA5
To find you
LA LA5addG#
I'm living
LA LA5addG#
I'm giving
LA5addF# LA5
To find you
LA5addF# LA5
To find you
The next part I think uses only the A chord:
LA
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)
