Swan Lee (Silas Lang) chords by Syd Barrett

A song first attempted with the Pink Floyd, but recorded solo. 'Silas Lang' is the original title on the EMI files, and this was later changed to "Swan Lee". Syd never referred to it as Silas Lang, and this may be a mistake on the part of the engineer on the original session. Part of the lyric goes 'the land in silence stands', which sounds, in part, rather like 'Silas Lang'. ... 'Silas Lang' or 'Swan Lee' was a long and rambling tale about an Indian maiden, reminiscent in many ways of the story of Hiawatha. -- Malcolm Jones' 'The making of The Madcap Laughs' Read more on Last.fm.
