Opel Chords

Here is my best shot at transcribing "Opel" by Syd Barrett.  I'm sure
it's not quite right -some of the lyrics are off and the chords in the
closing sequence "I'm trying..." are only an approximation.

It seems to be in 6/8 (or 3/4, I guess) time.

VERSES:
 
     A              E
On a distant shore, miles from land
G                                    D
Stands the ebony totem in ebony sand,
  A                  E
A dream in a mist of grey
B                A
On a far distant shore.
 
 
A                          E
The pebble, it stood alone
G                             D
And driftwood lies half buried
A                          E
Warm, shallow water sweeps shells
B              A
So the cockles shine.
 
 
A                      E
A bare, winding carcas stalk
G                              D
Shimmers as flies scoop up meat.
A
An empty way,
B          A
Dry Tears.
 
 
A                         E
Crisp flax squeaks.  Tall reeds
      G              D
Make a circle of grey
     A
In a summer way, around man
B         A
 so don't drown
 
 
BRIDGE:
 
(This is the long section of strummed chords.  I'll count measures
 in 6/8 in the following way:
 
  ------  ------ ------
  G       C      D      means a measure of G, one of C and one of D)
 
 
Unusual chords used:
     Cadd9:  x32030

CLOSING:
 
Unusual chords used:
 
      I don't know what to call these things, but they're based on
      the chord x02200 which I think is either A5 or Asus2.
 
      The chords and my (incorrect) names for them are:
 
           D5/A:    x00230 or x00235
           Dadd2/A: x00234
           D/A:     x00232
 
           A5:      x02200
 
Begin closing:
 
D5/A     Dadd2/A
I'm trying
 
D5/A     Dadd2/A
I'm trying
 
D/A     D5/A
To find  you
 
D/A     D5/A
To find  you
 
D5/A     Dadd2/A
I'm living
 
D5/A     Dadd2/A
I'm giving
 
D/A      D5/A
To find  you
 
D/A      D5/A
To find  you
 
The next part I think uses only the A chord:
 
A
I'm living
I'm living
I'm trying
I'm giving
 
(Switch at this point to A5 and diddle with it for a while)
 
A5
