Carpet of the Sun / Michael Dunford - Betty Thatcher
----------------------------------------------------

Performed by Renaissance on Ashes are Burning (1973)

Note that the seperation between bars (noted by "/", don't misunderstand me,
and play B / E as B chord on E bass...) is not very accurate. On the switches
between the B and the E there are 3/4 bar of B and then 5/4 of E.
Have fun - It's a great song!


intro       B / E / B / E
            B / E / B / E
            B / E / B / E

1st verse:
           B                  E
            Come along with me
           B                       E
            Down into the world of seeing
           B                   E
            Come and you'll be free
           B                 E
            Take the time to find the feeling
           D               A
            See everything on it's own
           Bm                   G
            And you'll find you know the way
           D                    A
            And you'll know the things you're shown
           Bm              G      B / E / B / E
            Owe everything to the day

Chorus:
            B               E
            See the carpet of the sun
           B                E
            The green grass soft and sweet
            B              E
            Sands upon the shores of time
           B           E
            Of ocean mountain deep
           G            E              B
            Part of the world that you live in
            G           E                B / E / B / E
            You are the part that you're giving

2nd Verse: (Same chords)
            Come into the day
            Feel the sunshine warmth around you
            Sounds from far away
            Music of the love that found you
            The seed that you plant today
            Tomorrow will be a tree
            And living goes on this way
            It's all part of you and me

Chorus: (Repeat the same chords, and then:)
            A / D / E / E / B / B
            D (long - pause)

Chorus: (Repeat the same chords, and then:)
            B             E         B / E
            See the carpet of the sun
            B             E         B / E
            See the carpet of the sun
            B             E         B / E
            See the carpet of the sun
            B             E         G / G / E / E / B  (end)
            See the carpet of the sun


On the lyric sheet that comes with the record, there is also this verse, which
is not sung, but you may try it as well:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/r/renaissance/16054.html ]
            Come along and try
            Looking into ways of giving
            Maybe we will fly
            Find a dream that we will live in
            We'll look into the eyes of time
            Past ages have turned to dust
            And born somewhere on the line
            The loving that grows with us
