---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Evael 10:00 - Swallow the Sun (Part III of "Plague of Butterflies") ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just my intuition of the basic chord structure. If you're playing it with a guitar, I suggest using drop-C tuning, so that you can play the C minor as an open chord. It sounds great that way, especially with an acoustic guitar. Hope you like the tab! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro: [Cm7] -- [Eb] -- [Gm - Ebmaj7] -- [F] [Cm7] -- [Eb] A: Gm F#m (F#sus2) F#m Cold, oh so cold is this air that the night brought. Gm(Ebmaj7)Gm F#m (F#sus2) F#m Silent, too quiet are the woods in the eve of this night. Gm (Ebmaj7) Gm F#m (F#sus2) F#m Once again I lit the candle on my window. Gm(D#maj7) Gm F#m (F#sus2) F#m And... And waited. Waited for the sleep... B1: [Cm7] -- [Eb] -- [Gm - Ebmaj7] -- [F] X2 [Cm7] -- [Eb] Gm F#m Evael, my dream has been so alive and this Eb Cm plague has cleansed this world for us. Gm F#m So please, Eb Cm release me now. A2: Gm (Ebmaj7) Gm F#m (F#sus2) F#m Sink deeper to your loneliness and you will lead her to your grave. Gm add9 F#m (F#sus2) F#m She's lost in gloomy light, still trying to hold her flame. Gm add9 F#m (F#sus2) F#m You're losing the sunsets and you will never get them back. Gm add9 Gm F#m (F#sus2) F#m This life you spend in loneliness is forever in shades of black. B2: Cm Eb Gm F#m Eb Cm Gm F#m Eb Cm Was it a weak sound on my door that woke me up Gm F#m or the trees sheltering me from the night? Eb Cm I kept my eyes closed but still felt the light, Gm F#m and the room was filled by butterflies. C2: Cm Gm Ab I rose with my heart beating. Cm For the weak hope of the midnight's hour I prayed Gm Ab and opened my door to the winter night. Cm And she fell... She fell to my arms. Gm Ab In tears I carried her and laid Cm her down to sleep. Her eyes Gm Ab frozen from the thousand nights alone. Cm She trembled and whispered: A3: (silence) D "I was lost in the woods. Csus2 Csus2 And the trees kept me away from you. Gm D For I brought the plague with them. Csus2 Csus2 With the butterflies..." B3: Am F Hush now and let it go. Csus4 C Csus4 C Close your eyes now. Csus4 C Csus4 C Am F C And we drift away, together away from the pain. Am F C Deep in this sheltering night, to a forgiving dream. Am F C Until one minute past midnight, the room was filled. C Filled only with butterflies...
