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
