Strumming
Tuning: E A D G B E
I used a couple of live acoustic versions to try to get the chords as close to perfect as possible.

A#mThe language of the frost lobs Bdead balloons over A#7ruins today B In vieD#M7w of D#*wan wordless D#/A#crowds that Fchase waifs to spires D#M7/G*with fiery plumes F*And incite the firmaF#ment's D#/A#portrait of a A#drowning in FStyx that gives F#impotents kicks
