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 some C-tuning (like CGCFAD), so that you can play that C minor as an open chord. It sounds great that way, especially with an acoustic guitar. Hope you like the tab! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro: [Cm7] -- [D#] -- [Gm - D#maj7] -- [F]
[Cm7] -- [D#] A1: F#m Cold, oh so cold is this air that the night brought. F#m Silent, too quiet are the woods in the eve of this night. F#m Once again I lit the candle on my window. F#m And... And waited. Waited for the sleep... B1: [Cm7] -- [D#] -- [Gm - D#maj7] -- [F] X2 [Cm7] -- [D#] F#m Evael, my dream has been so alive and this Cm plague has cleansed this world for us. F#m So please, Cm release me now. A2: F#m Sink deeper to your loneliness and you will lead her to your grave. F#m She's lost in gloomy light, still trying to hold her flame. F#m You're losing the sunsets and you will never get them back. F#m This life you spend in loneliness is forever in shades of black. B2: F#m F#m Cm Was it a weak sound on my door that woke me up F#m or the trees sheltering me from the night? Cm I kept my eyes closed but still felt the light, F#m and the room was filled by butterflies. C2: Cm G# I rose with my heart beating. Cm For the weak hope of the midnight's hour I prayed G# and opened my door to the winter night. Cm And she fell... She fell to my arms. G# In tears I carried her and laid Cm her down to sleep. Her eyes G# frozen from the thousand nights alone. Cm She trembled and whispered: A3: (silence) D "I was lost in the woods. Csus2 And the trees kept me away from you. D For I brought the plague with them. Csus2 With the butterflies..." B3: F Hush now and let it go. C Close your eyes now. C C And we drift away, together away from the pain. C Deep in this sheltering night, to a forgiving dream. C Until one minute past midnight, the room was filled. C Filled only with butterflies...
