Sand Chords

   
Sand is one of my favorite Lovemongers (Heart) songs, and I've wanted to learn to play
forever but could never find any tabs. It finally clicked with me and I think I figured
out pretty well. I don't really know the technical names of the chords, but I refer to 
as "open". If you listen to the strumming pattern it's easy enough to figure out.

Capo 5

E     (022100)
E*    (079900)
Aadd9 (002200)
B     (799800)
E*2   (067800)
G*    (355000) or (355400)
A*    (577000) or (577600)

    E*
I asked a distance star, I wonder where you are.

    Aadd9
A shadow at my door, a friend there is no more.

 E        Aadd9  E  Aadd9      E
   E    Aadd9      E*           E*2
I watched him go to the wind, I close my eyes, good-bye, good-bye my friend    .

   E*
Friends and family are branches of the tree.

   Aadd9
Sheltered in the rain, telling me again,

E        Aadd9     E   Aadd9      E
   E    Aadd9    E*             E*2
No matter how the raindrops run, the world will turn, turn back to the sun, yeah, yeah, yeah.

E*                        Aadd9                           E
   B*
A trick of light upon our eyes, a trick of time upon our life's.

E*                       Aadd9
          B*
Ancient songs cry out to you, surely this sweet sand is slipping through.
