Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an experimental vocalist and performer who incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, and avant-garde rock, in a short career spanning the late 1960s and early 1970s, ending with his death at age 28 from an alcohol-heroin overdose.
Buckley often regarded his tenor voice as an instrument, a talent most noticeable on his albums Happy Sad, Lorca, and Starsailor. His first marriage was to Mary Guibert, with whom he had a child, musician Jeff Buckley.

I first heard this song on youtube, from a clip on the Monkees TV show. I wanted to it but I couldn't find a decent enough tab, so I did it myself. This is my first tab, so I apriciate some feed back and possibly some of the picking patterns. Email me at [email protected] if you have any suggestions about this tab. Thanks
DA Long afloat on shipless oceans, GBm I did all my best to smile DA 'Til your singing eyes and fingers GBm Drew me loving to your isle. DC(9) And you sang, "Sail to me, G/BD Sail to me, let me unfold you." BmAG Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.
[Verse 2]
DA Did I dream you dreamed about me? GBm Were you hare when I was fox? DA Now my foolish boat is leaning, GBm Broken, lovelorn on your rocks. DC(9) For you sing, "Touch me not, G/BD Touch me not, come back tomorrow." BmAG Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
[Verse 3]
DA I'm as puzzled as the oyster, GBm I'm as troubled as the tide DA Should I stand amid the breakers? GBm Or should I lie with death my bride? DC(9) Hear me sing, "Swim to me, G/BD Swim to me, let me enfold you." BmAG Oh my heart, oh my heart is waiting to hold you.
