Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Goes  on forever along  the shoreline
Never  will end on the shores  of my mind
Travel  along til the sleep  takes me in
Where  have I ended where  do I begin
Sand  blankets are littered with stones  whipped across
Dead  things in the water forgotten  or lost
Branches  have surfaces and now  they are lean
Trees  have washed up here stripped bare  and washed clean
The  waves kiss and gently caress  on the shore
Kissing  and winking and calling  for more
The  waves like wagging tongues  do adore
And  whisper the softly to the sand  on the shore
You  would be nothing  without me
I  could be nothing
Said  the waves  to the sand
I  could be nothing  without you
 These same chords are repeated through the rest of the song. The actual song uses
 a picking style and a lot of banjo, but these chords work spot on to strum your guitar
 and sing along around your campfire or along with the CD ;) For the rest of the lyrics
 buy the CD because I'm not much of a typist.
