Glimmer by Aqualung
Capo 5'th Fret
For the verses in this song you have to listen to the strum pattern because it's a bit
at first, but after a listen or two you can get it. I'm also not completely sure on the
of the C/B chord there, I just said C/B because it's got a C shaped chord except the
note is B.

I know that I was lost
Am C C/B
And I know that it was too too hard

And although it isn't much
Dm C G
I give you all I have.
Am C C/B
There's a mirror in the old place
Am C C/B
A place where we would stand
Am C C/B
And wonder at our sweet sweet selves
Dm C G Am
Smiling hand in hand
Dm C G
This wasn't what we planned.

Though the night has fallen

A tiny glimmer

Flickering on the horizon.

Everyday, everyday

Living my life like it's over

Like it's over and deep underground.

Little look, little smile

Flick the switch and it's over

But maybe there's a tiny glow

That won't die and won't leave us.
C C
A lone star shining. The sun is rising.

A tiny glimmer

Flickering on the horizon.
