Anne, thanks for the help.
I would very much like to hear what you think of it and also I'm very interested in any upgrading of my notes, so please let me know!

Sanctuary

C -----------0---------------0---------------------0---------------
A -------2-------2-------2-------0-----------0---------------0-----
G -----0---------------0-----------------0-------0-------0-------0-
D ---2-----2---2-----2-----2---2-------3-------3-------3-------3---
A -0---------------0-----------------3-----3---------3-----3-------

                                                            It's so
   calm here                       on the Killdare fields
Repeat this line during the verse, after the last line, walk down on your lowest string:
C ----------------------------------------------------------------
A -----------5-----5-------5-----5-------7-----7-------7-----7----
G ---------5-----5-------5-----5-------7-----7-------7-----7------
D -------7-----7-------7-----7-------7-----7-------7-----7--------
A ----------------------------------------------------------------
D -3-2-0-------------0-------------7-------------7----------------

                          This loss is everywhere
You can take a barre on 5 and later on 7, but in the barre at 5 make sure
you don't hit the C-string. Repeat this line during the chorus and then:
C ---------0------------------------
A -----------0----------------------
G -------4-----4---------2-2--------
D -----5---------5-----3-----3------  2x
A ---5---------------3---------3----
D -5---------------3-------------3--

   Be warm           Made secure     (2x)
And then, with the word "Sanctuary", return to the beginning of the song and sing the
second verse (Days and weeks go by...).

In the end of the song Luka slightly changes his fingerpicking, I think something like this:

C ---------2-------0-----------------2-------0--------- 
A -------0-------0-------0-2-------------------------2- 
G -----0-------0-------0-----------0-------0-------0--- 
D ---2-------2-------2-----------3-------3-------3----- 
A -0---------------------------3-------3-------3-------
D ---------------------------3-------------------------
For the strummers among us, it is a basic of a few chords:
                          DADGAC    DADGAC
Verse:                    x02020    333000
Chorus:                   00755x    777777
Be warm/made secure-part: 555400    333200
Full lyrics:
It's so calm here on the Kildare fields
A shock to know how quickly time steals
I dreamed I stopped the sunrise that day
Stilled the breeze that carried you away

This loss is everywhere
I can touch and feel your light there
By the power of my desire be warmed and made secure
Be warmed and made secure
Sanctuary
      
Days and weeks go by somehow
And I will leave daffodils where you lie now
In words that echo through the night
Sanctuary
An easy voice making everything all right
Sanctuary
