Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

This was tabbed by Mr. Wings over on indieguitartabs, so 95% of the credit goes to him!
I just tried my hand at the last section that was missing from his, (after the "Verse 6"),
and changed a couple lyrics and chords to what I thought was more correct.

Capo 5

C (x4)

Verse 1:
C Em
I----I pushed off the pier
Am
Infinity ran cold
D
And filled up my ears
G
There's the weapon you hold;
F
There's the thing that you hold it to
C
And the thing you hold dear.

Verse 2:
C Em
Oh the speed of a year
Am
It runs the wood dry
D
And water unclear
G
There's the thing you hold high;
F
And then there's the thing that you hold it to
C
And the thing you hold dear.

Verse 3:
C Em Am D
I will be an enemy to men seen in the light!
G
Do you think it's all right?
F
Yes I think it's all right!

It's all right!

Verse 4:
Bb
If you make the waves
F
The sun makes the rays
Bb
The speed of the Light

The whirling of pools runs clear

Verse 5:
C
So I'll be out till the shimmering dies
Em
I said I'll be out till the shimmering dies
Am
It's the wringing out the predatory nature of the sky
D
And the ringing sound it makes when it's burning out your eyes
G F
It's all right. IT IS ALL RIGHT!
C
It's the speed of the light
Em
It's the speed of a year
Am
It's the weapon you hold,
D
And the thing you hold dear.

OH my dear, oh my dear
F
It's infinity's time to shine out here
