Текст песни Elton John - Oceans Away

A lovely song from Elton's newest album 'The Diving Board' - I'm a little amazed no one has tabbed it yet to be
honest with you.

I've had a go at notating the intro - I'm more of a pianist than a guitarist so I haven't tabbed it, but I think
my system is pretty easy to work out - listen to the record for the timing. Vertical lines ( | ) are bar lines.

Notes    |    |    |           | Bc   |    |          |
Chords      | EB  |       |                  |   |       |              |

  EB                                               
I hung out with the old folks, in the hope that I'd get wise.

I was trying to bridge the gap, between the great divide.

Hung on every recollection, in the theatre of their eyes

Picking up on this and that, in the few that still survive.

Call em up

Dust em off

Let em shine

The ones who hold onto the ones, they had to leave behind

Those that flew, those that fell,

The ones that had to stay,

Beneath a little wooden cross

      EB
Oceans away

REPEAT INTRO

They bend like trees in winter, these shuffling old gray lions
Though snow white start to gather, like the belt around Orion.
Just a touch of faded lightning, of the powerful design,
Of the generation gathered, for maybe the last time.

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE

Oceans away where the green grass sways and the cool wind blows across the shadow of their graves.

                                     AB
shoulder to shoulder, back in the day, sleeping bones to rest in Earth

O - ceans away

O - ceans away

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT INTRO

Single  note fading into the distance
