so I saw John Prine recently which resulted in my last post so now im thinkin green and this surfaces. Love the haunting nature of this song unfortunatly not captured in my version but surprised i could do anything close.was fun trying .the basic guitar part is actually simple so maybe someone out there will find the latter helpful.As for the vocal my apologies in advance. You should listen to the original on you tube.the latter allways gives me goose bumps.

Over the years you have been hunted by the men who threw harpoons

And in the long run we will kill you just to feed the pets we raise

Put the flowers in your vase and make the lipstick for your face

Over the years you swam the ocean following feelings of your own
C E m A. D. C E m
Now you are washed up on the shoreline I can see your body lie
A. D. C E m A. D. C E m
It's a shame you have to die to put the shadow on our eye

Maybe we'll go, maybe we'll disappear

It's not that we don't know, it's just that we don't want to care

Under the bridges, over the foam, wind on the water, carry me home

I didn't think anyone could do a good cover version of this, but you sure changed my mind. As iwith a few other songs, your harmony brings a richness and depth to the sweetness of the original. I would go so far as to call your harmony "thoughtful." Impressive effort.
