Yep. Thats right. Open A (sorta). And yes, tune your low E down SEVEN steps,
and go from there. Tune your A down five, and so on. The high strings really
dont matter, since Jimmy just uses the first four, but when I play it I like
to throw in some ringing open chords. VERY cool sound, awesdome song. The
three chords are:
--- --- --- ------------------------
--- --- --- ------------------------
--- --- -0- -0----------------------
-7- -7- -0- -0---0-2-4-2-0---7------
-7- -9- -0- -0---------------7------
-7- -7- -(0)- (0)--------------7------
Thats it. get into a campfire/arabian kinda mood, take a string off your
friends bass, throw in percussion and jam! I absolutely LOVE playing this
song. email me if you agree, or for other comments. The words, you ask?
From my island home I feel a chance
To kiss the tired ghosts of time and circumstance
So give me peace of mind and let me dance
and bury all my pain and years beneath the sand
On my heel these wings I gladly bear
and laugh into the face of anger and despair
