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

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

triple stops.  e.g., 





  __5-sl-7__5-sl-7_|___

(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!)

Chrous Riffs 1a and 1b.  Please edit the file accordingly, replacing the
