View chords used in this chart
For the E octaves in the Chorus I like to play an E bar chord (x799xx) emphasizing the 7 on the A string,
then drop down to an open E chord (022100) emphasizing the 0 on the E string.

Verse:
E A
Still dreaming of the thicketed field
E A
Salty marsh fed by the tidal stream
Look down the flush
Sleeping deep in the brush
The night brings the hush
I can hear the current
Pre-Chorus
F#m G#m F#m G#m
Hidden by the knees of the cypress trees
The insects chirping underneath the leaves
When you kiss me, you really kiss me
F#m G#m F#m B
Tell me how can you resist me?
[Refrão]E F#m
Did we ever reveal?
E F#m
This is all that we need
E F#m
Did we ever reveal?
E F#m
This is all that we need
