Intro:

[A verse with no words, Adrian solos in E major and its related modes with
a slide.  He also puts lots of slide licks in when there are no words.]


Verse 1:

(Verse Riff)
Stare at the window pane,

(Verse Riff with alternate ending)
Stare at the rain that's falling.

Chorus:

(Chorus Riff 1a)
She waits in the air,

Chrous Riff 1b)
Matte Kudasai.

(Chorus Riff 1a)
She sleeps in a chair,

(Chrous Riff 1c)

(Chorus Riff 2a)
In her sad America.

(Chorus Riff 2b)
[no lyrics]


Verse 2:

[same as Verse 1]

Long, long is the night alone,
Long, like the notes I'm sending.

Chorus


  Verse Riff:
                                                       (*)
E|--------|----------|-------------|-----7-\-4--|-----7-\-4--|--------------|
B|--------|----------|-------------|-----7-\-5--|-----7-\-5--|--------------|
G|--------|------6--4|-------4---1-|-----6-\-4--|-----6-\-4--|--------------|
D|--------|------6--4|-------4---2-|------------|------------|--------------|
A|--------|----------|-------4---2-|------------|------------|--------------|
E|-0-2h3h4|-0-0------|--0----------|-0----------|--0---------|-0-2h3h4------|


(*)  Fripp improvises on this bit, so try different things out.  Mostly
triple stops.  e.g.,


E|----5-/-7--5-/-7-|----|
B|----5-/-7--5-/-7-|----|
G|----4-/-6--4-/-6-|----|
D|-----------------|----|
A|-----------------|----|
E|--0--------------|--0-| etc.

   segue ->    Chorus Riff 1a                Chorus Riff 1b
E|---------|-----------0----------------|------------------------------------|
B|---------|---------2---2---2-------2--|------------------------------------|
G|---------|-------1-------1------1-----|-----[sa| me pick pattern as previous]|
D|---------|----4--------------4--------|------------------------------------|
A|---------|----------------------------|------------------------------------|
E|-0-2h4h3-|--2-------------------------|--0---------------------------------|


(Note:  this fingering is really tough.  I recommend doing stretching
exercises before attempting it.  I recommend using a thumb fret for the
bass string, but if you can finger it some other way, go for it!)

     Chorus Riff 1c

NOTE:  I forgot to indicate that you need to play each measure twice on
Chrous Riffs 1a and 1b.  Please edit the file accordingly, replacing the
line titled "segue -> Chorus Riff 1a    Chorus Riff 1b" in the original with
the lines below.
