The middle 8 proved a tricky beast to tame. I think it's OK though. Had to
work some of it out on piano and the middle 8 chords don't translate as well
to a guitar with standard tuning. It's a fantastic song though, so I hope
you enjoy playing it.
Tuning: Standard

And still I hear their whisper
VERSE 3:
Stars, burstin' in the sky
Hear the sad nova's dyin' cry
Shimmerin' memory
Come and hold me
While you show me how to fly
VERSE 4:
Sun, siftin' thru the grey
Enter in, reach me with a ray
Silently swoopin' down
Just to show me
How to give my heart away
MIDDLE 8:
And lately sparklin' hosts
Come fill my dreams descendin' on firey beams
I've seen 'em come clear down
Where our poor bodies lay
Soothe us gently and say,
"Gonna wipe all your tears away" And still I hear their whisper
VERSE 5:
Love risin' from the mists
Promise me this and only this
Holy breath touchin' me
Like a wind song
Sweet communion of a kiss...
