Lyrics:
v1
Dark night on the open sea
And the land has disappeared
Nothing in sight but water
And I'm beginning to feel weird
v2
Redrum on the captain's mind
Round the world and back again
The only things I see are clouds and mist
Only I understand
v3
It's like I'm in a desert
And I can see a mirage
It's of a distant shoreline
And on the shore is a cotton cottage
Hey yeah, on and on and on
(chorus:)
I see a cotton cottage
And a little log cabin
Alone and distant
I'm there within
I sleep in a cotton cottage
Redrum on the walls
I climb to the top
And have myself a fall
Hey yeah, on and on and on and on
v4
Nothing more than pure madness
Don't expect to ever get home
I don't recognize my own face
So I think I'll start to roam
v5
Everyone's either dead, or
They threw themselves overboard
They didn't find their cotton cottages
And they haven't found the Lord
Redrum, hey yeah, on and on and on,
I see a cotton cottage
And a little log cabin
Alone and distant
I'm there within
I sleep in a cotton cottage
Redrum on the walls
I climb to the top
And have myself a fall
Redrum, redrum, on and on and on and on
I see a cotton cottage
And a little log cabin
Alone and distant
I'm there within
I sleep in a cotton cottage
Redrum on the walls
I climb to the top
And have myself a fall
Cotton cottage in the sky
Li'l log cabin n' I can't fly
Cotton cottage piece of the sky
Li'l log cabin n' my mouth's gone dry
Cotton Cottage Skies
Cotton Cottage Skies
Cotton Cottage Skies
Cotton Cottage Skies Nevermore

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 RELIC 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.
