  24 <p>Chords (relative to capo):</p>

  26 <pre class="chords">
  27 E      000000
  28 F#m'   220100
  29 A(v)   x5555(5)
  30 G#m'   440300
  31 B      x7777(7) (B/f#)</pre>
  32
  33 <p>The F#m is hammered on from the open-stringed E. <br />
  34 The B is so consistently played with the 6th string sounding, that it could equally well
  35 be called B/e (or rather: Badd11/e) = 077777<br />
  36 An alternative to A is A6 = x55570, which I seem to hear at the beginning of the second
  37 verse.</p>

  47 The coolness of the riverbank, and the whispering of the reeds
  48 F#m         G#m         A       B
  49 Daybreak is not so very far away
  50 A              G#m                F#m          E
  51  Enchanted and spellbound, in the silence they lingered

  55 And the birds were silent,   as they listened for the heavenly music

  57 And the river played   the song </pre>

  69 F#m                 G#m   A                            B
