Solstice Tab

Björk - Solstice
 
Tuning: ECDGBD
Capo 7
 
||o----o|| = repeat, only once unless specified otherwise
 
For the majority of the song, I found it nearly impossible to determine any semblance of meter, so I didn't
include measure breaks for most of the song, sorry! To (somewhat) make up for it, I added timestamps.

[Lyrics]
 
When your eyes
Pause on the ball
That hangs on the third branch from the star
You remember why it is dark
And why it gets light again
 
The earth like the hearts
Slopes in it's seat
And like that it travels
Along an elliptical path
Drawn into the darkness
 
An unpolished pearl
In the sky black palm of hands
Flickering sun flame
 
And then you remember
That you yourself
You are a light bearer, a light bearer
Receiving radiance from others
Flickering sun flame
Unpolished earth
In the palm of hands
X
