1st VERSE:
"On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound".
(It's the same for the rest of the song; in order to play this song
just like it sounds, I recommend you to play the "big strings"(E,A and D)
alone before every Em Chord part;I mean: play 022---, before playing the whole
chord:022000)
