Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Superbly beautiful and warm song. Also check this out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UMkGRjyoSo . I tabbed the album version - only
difference in the last 'ooh boy, ooh boy'
which changes from E to A to E instead of staying on the E. It's a definite improvement
though, so when you're playing without the CD/LP on, I'd suggest the youtube progression.
GUITAR 1 (acoustic & strumming, while alternating between the E and A string till 'don't
let the swell... ', where it'll take refuge in just strumming)
E
E
The fire's out, the sun is down
On the beach we were
Oh, my stars, they're soaring again
And you've gone on to leave your breath
B A E
Don't let the swell calm down
B A E
The water is drowning our faith
B A E B A E
Don't let the evil light carry our own weight
B A E
And carry our souls away
E A E
Ooh, boy, it's a long way,
A (E|-3b4-0-|)E
It's a long way home (play 2x)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/sleepy_sun/ooh_boy_tab.html ]
E
Ooh, boy, ooh boy
A E
It's a long way home (play 2x)
GUITAR 2 (acoustic and filling up space)

GUITAR 3 (electric, heavily distorted, reverbed, tape delayed does some random stuff
with these notes and a slide. Tabbed out the first part, the rest is pretty much untabable,
random slide-movements will produce perfect results!)
