        Here's a pretty cool song off of "New Times." It should be right but
if it's not(or if you just have additions, comments or questions) e-mail me

intro(clean electric)-
              B5 (palm mute)
        A lot of the verse just sounds like straight bass. The guitar
pattern that I could decipher sounds like this:
verse-
 "This tea is too strong for me..."
repeat that a couple of times and then go into this:
 lyrics:
   This tea's too strong for me
   As I await yoir company
   I had too much sun today
   Ocean waters wash away
   Nothing but the present
   Presenting its presence
   This island life
   Separate my right from my wrong
   No I am not pagan
   but my heart has been forsaken
   And the hand of God was on my mind
   It took some time from time to time
   Now in the course I know
   Time itself will go when
   (chorus)
   You forgot your shoes and I
   I have sent a message but I
   There's so many stars in the sky
   It's the truths that will not lie
   There's a young wild native maiden
   Running mad and barefoot to the sea until
   (chorus)
   This island life
   Finally separates my right from my wrong
   (guitar solo)
   This tea's too strong for me
   As I await more company
   I had too much sun today
   Dream of lands lying far away
   Pregnant with the present
   Presenting its presents
   This island life
   Separate my right from my wrong
   This island life
   Will separate my rights from my songs
   Separate my right from wrong
   (electric sitar outro)
