/ Kashmir / I think this song is about the Americanization of the

/ No Balance Palace / always been aware of that it was sneaking up on us, but
/___________________/ we were never strong enough to resist it after all.
The verses (and the intro) are constructed with shifts between Em and A with a
fill between every shift. All measures go in 4/4 except for those indicated differently:
5/4
| Em | Em | Asus4 | A |
3/4 5/4
| Em | Em | Asus4 | A |

This is my best bid on the keyboard transcribed for guitar:

Chorus:
In the verse, the fourth fill in the end of the last 5/4 A-measure is cut away,
which leaves a 2/4 A-measure and the chorus starts straight on after that.
