John Cale Tabs

Big White Cloud

Tabbed by: Bert Timmermans <bonzothegod@hotmail.com>

How simple can it get?
This one shows how far one can get with three basic chords and a gift for melody.
One chord symbol represents one bar.

Intro: G# note, leading into E / A / B / E

E                 E
 When I stand, my back to the sea
  A                        A
A big white cloud, looking right down on me
E              E
 Sound of sun, missing my eyes
A                   A
Everything's clear, everything's bright

2x:
E                B
Big white cloud, big white cloud
A                  E
Big white cloud on me

A            A
 Time to kill on the hill
E                E
Looking at bees, licking the trees
A                  A
 Looking for signs, wind and the rain

2x:
E                 B
Oh how I love it, yes I love it
A                E
Oh how I love it so

E             E
 After all is said and done
A               A
 Everything, is just like it began
E                E
 Days that came, years again
A             A
 Came and went once again

3x
E                 B
Oh how I love it, yes I love it
A                E
Oh how I love it so
