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...

C  X4
