The Pharaoh chords by Edguy

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse:
Eb
From the cradle of silence and of light
             C#m   E
It took a birth in human blood - angels cry –
Eb
To the ages of violence and of hate
             C#m E
To explore the left hand path I came alive

Pre-Chorus:
G#m     F#     G#m         F#
Into my striding, the shell of a god in the cold
C#m       A     C#m           G#
My soul is just hiding, my spirit haunting on to control

Chorus:
C#m         E      B
Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness
   A
To swallow the light
 G#    G#/C
Behold the ghost of a god
C#m         E    B
God from the Nile, eternally roaming
  A
To swallow the light
 G#    G#/C    C#m B G#m A
Behold the spirit of a pharaoh, oh oh
C#m B G#m A
pharaoh, oh no!

Verse 2:
Eb
To the world of spirits he's sailling on and on
            C#m    E
Why magician don't you feel they broke the seal
Eb
Cyril's facing the tyrant everywhere
         C#m   E
Far away from his grave, Seth is free

Pre-Chorus 2:
G#m       F#  G#m            F#
Roaming through ages, begetting advice for your kings, yow...
C#m      A    C#m             G#
Leading the stages of history that's bound to my strings, no, no, no...

Chorus:
C#m         E      B
Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness
   A
To swallow the light
 G#    G#/C
Behold the ghost of a god
C#m         E    B
God from the Nile, eternally roaming
   A
To swallow the light
 G#    G#/C    C#m B G#m A
Behold the spirit of a pharaoh, oh oh
C#m B G#m A
pharaoh, oh no!

C#m           G#m
Don't you see that it's coming, it's near
  B            F#
The wise man screamed in the noble chamber
C#m        G#m
Just a parrot in a rich man's cage
B        F#
He's a jester on the count
  C#m           G#m
The wise man died and the seance went on
  B              F#
And the red one reigned in the noble chamber
C#m      G#m
In dreams of a masterplan
    B          F#
For a billion parrots in a big cage
  C#m    G#m    B      F#
Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness
   C#m   G#m   B       F#
You don't realize, afraid in the haze
   C#m     G#m    B      F#
You point at the man that grins in your nightmare
   C#m   G#m   B       F#
And don't realize the mirror you gaze into
A            Bsus4        B
You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries

C#m      A   B       C#m
I guide your away I make you stay alive
       E       G#m
My servants taught you know how to survive
C#m     A    B      C#m
The way of light is food for your soul
        E      G#m   Em
But it's your belly that's taken control
       C     D     Em
No guiding light would shine anymore
        C     D      Em
It's just the red god replacing the core
       C    D      Em
He'll rise again to open up the gate
      G       D
We have to learn for our future, our fate...
