|C  D                |          C  D |F  G    |                  |
    Can you remember,  remember my name         as I flow through 
|C  D        |                    C  D   |F  G   |         |
 your life      a thousand oceans I  have flown   ooh   and
|Am        |riff_1           |       |riff_1  |
 cold,       cold spirits of  ice. 
|Am           |riff_1  |                      |       |
   All my life           I am the echo of your past


|C  D     |     C  D |F  G     |            |

  
|C  D              |               C     D |F  G   |               |
    I am returning,  the echo of a point in time,     distant faces 
|C  D      |                      C  D    |F  G    |       |
 shine        a thousand warriors I  have  known        and 
|Am       |riff_1          |       |riff_1   |
 laughing  as the spirits appear
|Am             |riff_1 |                     |       |
   all your life           shadows of another  day


    |F       |C                           |
                and if you hear me talking 
    |Dm                         |G                    |
     on the wind  you've got to  understand we must re-

           I know I  must remain inside this silent well of

    A strand of silver   hanging through the sky      touching more than you
|C  D    |                      C  D  |F  G    |       |

Well the 9/4 parts gave me a bit of a headace, so I chose to put a 5/4 
measure there and keep the rest 4/4's. The accents in there come mostly 
at the 2nd half of each 1/4. (As one-AND-two-AND...)

What to play on Am - riff_1: Basically it's just A5/Am through, but I noticed
that it's easier to keep track of where you are, if you count the riffs 
especially, when you are singing. :)
