CAPO 2

There are two guitars.. one strumming chords, the other strums
then picks some notes out of the chord. The C chord has some Cadd9
flourishes... (The solo might not by in octaves but since I can't
afford all those cool effects this gets me close...)


 Em       C
are you the plane
Em   D           C
that shapes the board
Em   D/F#  G D5 C
part of    a     history
Em D           C
   smoothed and worn

        brushfire...


Em D/F#  G  C
isn't    it strange
Em D      C
to see my life
Em  D/F G D5  C
    you must  cut me down
Em D       C
   to look inside


                           (second time through not so precise...)
