Hi there, fellow Carbon Leaf fan.  Make sure you feel the abrupt change between the
groovier first half of the song and the faster, less syncopated second half.  And if at all
get some vocal harmonies for the "whittle away, whittle away" part.  Enjoy!

D                           G                      D
G    D
I lit a light on my gloom, and now there's only a half-moon
D                          G                 D
G    D
I need to find a way home, on the moon to be alone
D                         G                   D
And so we make our way through the sand of a sullen day
         G             D
Whittle away, whittle away
  D                                    G                      D
Dreaming in ether, leave atmosphere, breathing in Neptune's chandelier
         G             D
Whittle away, whittle away
 
Chorus:
 
 A    D         A         D
Lift away and float it on into space
A                   D              G   A            D
Into the sublime celestial brine…      It's almost time
 
Verse 2:
 
I made it up in my room, from a dream it is rough hewn
(Home)  Whittle away, whittle away
I make a vessel for home, carve it out with a gemstone
(Home)  Whittle away, whittle away
 
Land of sorrow, sift away through the sand of a sullen day
(Home)  Whittle away, whittle away
Dreaming in ether, leave atmosphere, breathing in Neptune's chandelier
(Home)  Whittle away, whittle away

It's almost time to ride, align, melt these hemispheres into one
           A                         C
G
Dull and Shine intertwine, I'm torn away, I'm up and down, it's almost time
          D        A
Now I am sailing, sailing
             C                          G
Through the light and the gloom of the sun and the moon
          D        A
And I am sailing, sailing
             C                          G
Through the light and the gloom of the sun and the moon
 D    A                              C                        G
Hey, hey moon, I think I figured it out, I think I'm coming about
          D        A                   C
Now I am sailing, sailing through the light and the gloom
          G                             D
My whole world is in tune and so much clearer now...
