Are there two different songs with this same title?

I know of the one that goes:

First the tide rushes in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea
And the sea is very still once more
So I rush to your side
Like the oncoming tide
With one burning thought
Will your arms open wide
At last we're face to face
And as we kiss through an embrace
I can tell, I can feel
You are love, you are real
Really mine
In the rain, in the dark, in the sun
Like the tide at its ebb
I'm at peace in the web
Of your arms

But I found a listing of Ebb Tide with "You Were in Tahua" next to it.

Is this another version of Ebb Tide?

Thanks!

There sure is. It is on one of Jerrys albums and if you have any of his trax it is on there. Pretty song and Jerry has it tabbed out to make it even prettier. One drawback, you'll need a bar with a hinge in the middle to do some of Jerrys slants. CC

Hi C.C.!

Do you happen to know which album it was?

I found Ebb Tide on Jerry's Satin Strings of Steel album, but it's the same melody of the popular version I posted the lyrics for.

I have the tab, and it sounds like a totally different melody (or maybe my playing is so bad that I don't recognize it )!

It is a totally diferent melody. If you also have the trak it should not be too hard to play. I,ll look up the recording of this and let you know. CC

Yikes. I've been in music school to long. I was trying to figure out why they'd call a song "E double-flat Tide" (instead of the much more poetical "D Tide").

Probably everyone already knows this: song titles can't be copyrighted.

Perhaps one of your problems with learning Ebb Tide is the fact that Jerry used the C-Diatonic tuning!
E–F–G–A–B–C–E as he also did on “The Waltz You Saved For Me”.
