lyrics:
The sand, the sand it covers the land
it's just a victim
you didn't stop it
high noon and the walk brings the storm with it
born to it or lay on it
Day on day, night on night
with the thrill of a kid on my side
I will survive
As long as this trip will go
with my soul
I search for water
you need the cold
bring me some bubbles and a crown of gold
crossing the deadline befor it's too late
the finger snaps to the center of anger, wait
Cross the line you will suffer
(no bridge, just one step)
Cross the line...
(no bridge, no way back)
Cross the line...
(better give, better stand up)
Cross the line...
(better give up, better shut up)
So where's the mountain
I can't reach the top of this world
Key:
(t) - tap
h - hammer on
p - pull off
<#> - harmonic
/ \ - slide
x - muffle
I'm gonna' even flow up out of this joint,

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official GUANO APES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
