[G] [F#]
Yes, take a deep breath.
After a long day of meditation, for how long we knew not how long we sat there in the ashram,
[F#m] we would gather [B] together after the day, [F#] high up on the [F#m] roofs of our bungalows, [B] and I would
take my guitar out, [F#] one song in particular, [G#] from my [E] troubadour, Scottish past, [B] about an
island in the west coast of Scotland [F#] called Islay, [F#m] holy islands [B] in Scotland.
[E] And at the end of each concert, [B] with David Lynch, this past year, David would [F#m] request that I sing
this song.
[B] When Maharishi heard it, he said to me, ah, [G#] a [F#] transcendental song.
[F#m] It is true, I can
lead you to the edge [G#] of transcendence [F#m] with these skillful troubadour songs.
[G#] [F#m] And this one, I dedicate
tonight to Maharishi, but also David Lynch over there in California.
Hi, David.
We will meditate
as we listen.

[D] I felt [E] like a side left me [F#] here.

I felt like [B] a grain on your [C#] side.

[F#m] How blessed the [A] thought [F#m] asked with birth [D]
song.
[F#m] How neat the card be late [E] so long.
I [D]
felt [E] like a tide left [F#] me here.
[F#m] [D] I felt [E] like a seed on [F#] your land.
