Notes
-----
Guitar 1 usually plays clean, guitar 2 with distortion.
When only one guitar is marked, the other guitar usually plays
chords that tie with the bass.
Guitar riff 4 (the lead guitar on the second part of the chorus) is
_very_ hard to hear so I usually play palm-muted power chords that follow
the bass instead (ie, D5, F, G5, Bb).
On the LP version guitar riff 6 (the bridge) is played with a
tremolo effect. On live versions it's played with a sustained
'synth' type sound.
How to play it:

Lyrics/Chords
-------------
Dm Bb
Cold still waters running deep, pale before the eyes
C G
Ravaged, by the hands that feed, thunder clouds the skies
Dm Bb
Drifting with the tide, floating with the stream
C G
The howling winds have gathered strength, from a whisper to a scream
D5 G5 D5 G5
Sell me down the river, and out to sea
D5 F G5 Bb
Cast me adrift and set me to sail, Just one last kiss before raising hell
C Dm D D5
Beyond the pale, Beyond the pale
[Then main riff twice over D5, Bb, G5, C sequence]
[Following verse chorus as above]
Heed to Neptune's calling deceived in fable and lore
Learn from treacherous bibles
Of murder, hate and war
Searching for the tears
In an ocean of rain
The yearning of the raging sea beckons once again
Sell me down the river, and out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just one last kiss before raising hell
Beyond the pale, beyond the pale
[Instrumental Bridge]
Gathering of the storm
And the winds are blowing wild
Sweeping over cross and creed, country, colour and child
Mother nature cries for love
Her children lost at sea
And as the waves take me away
Say a prayer for liberty
Sell me down the river
And out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just one last kiss before raising hell
C Dm C Dm
Beyond the pale, beyond the pale
C Dm C Dm
Beyond the pale, beyond the pale
