E A, Asus4 E A, Asus4
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay

No capo - More accurate
E-chord
You can hear that the basic e-chord in the song, includes a higher tone that what can be produced by the 'ordinary E' (= E-shape). It's obviously the A-shape with a bar on 7
Esus2-chord
- This too, is an A-shape with a bar on 7.
- Note that in the easy transcription above, the verse sequence is E, A, Asus4. That's probably not accurate, as we now come up with E, Esus2
A-chord
- F-shape with bar on 5
Notes
- The chords are roughly the same as in the easier version mentioned before, but they are played differently, plus some bells & whistels
