Day On The Sand


DAY ON THE SAND RAILROAD EARTH I've left out a lot of detail, so this is just the skeleton of the song… no mistakes-mistakes that I'm aware of. Capo on 6 Em [verse1] C G/B D/A C D Oh my love the long day unwinds So many memories Underneath these pines The house down the old road it still looks the same But no one to greet us down the gravel lane [chorus] C G D Em We don’t need to go Till you’re ready to go I don’t need to know Till you want me to know Let me sing you a song So you know where I’ll stand C (lots of nonchordtones in the melody) With my hand in your hand Em Em C Em C G/B [verse2] Oh my love sheath to unbind So many knotted endings to unwind A box full of letters A long time ago A lifetime of love That you didn’t even know [chorus repeats] Em (noodling up top) She’s sailing on C D Sailing on [verse3] A song and a story Upon land of prayer The wind and the water The sun and the air A day of redemption A day on the sand A shell full of ash Let it fly from your hand [chorus repeats] She’s sailing on Sailing on C G/B D/A............
