Temples – Sand Dance
Lyrics could be a bit off.
Note 1: Listen to the song to get the rhythms right.
Note 2: Verses follow the rhythmical pattern of the main riff.
Note 3: De parts in E in the bridge hint at the main riff. You can play around with that.

VERSE 1 (same rhythm as the main riff)
From out the night sky
We were made open
That our reflection meets between two
Below the dark cries secretly laughing
The smile was passed but never on you
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/temples/sand_dance_crd.html ]
CHORUS:
E Fmaj7
Come to me when the lights are out
E Fmaj7
Secrets left us in turn
E Fmaj7
Circling the desert where a man goes now
E Fmaj7
In a sand dance we move
MAIN RIFF
VERSE 2
Upon a question answers revealed
No given memory, wishes unsure
A lesser meaning left among feelings
Gave you a web left down on the ground

We were made open

Below the dark cries secret in passing
A smile will last but never on you
