A A7 D Dmaj7 E
Inspiration, move me brightly. Light the song with sense and color;
A E A E
Hold away despair, more than this I will not ask.
C#m Gmaj7 D D#m7-5 E A D D#m7-5
Faced with mysteries dark and vast, statements just seem vain at last.
E
Some rise, some fall, some climb, to get to Terrapin.
Terrapin Station - Riff
E A E C#m D
Counting stars by candlelight, all are dim but one is bright;
E A
The spiral light of Venus, rising first and shining best,
E A E C#m B D D#m7-5
Oh, from the northwest corner, of a brand new crescent moon,
E A D D#m7-5 E
crickets and cicadas sing, a rare and different tune,
D A
Terrapin Station.
Bm A E D A
In the shadow of the moon, Terrapin Station.
D E
And I know we'll be there soon,
E
(Terrapin) I can't figure out,
(Terrapin) if it's the end or beginning
(Terrapin) But the train's put it's brakes on
(Terrapin) And the whistle is screaming,
D
terrapin
