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] -- [D#] -- [Gm - D#maj7] -- [F]
[Cm7] -- [D#]
A1:
Gm F#m (F#sus2) F#m
Cold, oh so cold is this air that the night brought.
Gm(D#maj7)Gm F#m (F#sus2) F#m
Silent, too quiet are the woods in the eve of this night.
Gm (D#maj7) 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] -- [D#] -- [Gm - D#maj7] -- [F] X2
[Cm7] -- [D#]
GmEvael, my F#mdream has been so alive and this
D#plague has Cmcleansed this world for us.
Gm So please, F#m
reD#lease me now. Cm
A2:
Gm (D#maj7) 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 D# Gm F#m
D# Cm Gm F#m
D# Was it a weak sound on mCmy door that woke me up
Gm or the trees sheltering F#mme from the night?
D# I kept my eyes closed but Cmstill felt the light,
Gm and the room was F#mfilled by butterflies.
C2:
Cm
I Gmrose with my heart G#beating.
Cm For the weak hope of the midnight's hour I prayed
and opened my door to the Gmwinter G#night.
CmAnd she fell... She fell to my arms.
In tears I carried her Gmand G#laid
Cm her down to sleep. Her eyes
frozen from the thousand Gmnights aG#lone.
CmShe trembled and whispered:
A3:
(silence) D
"I was lost in the woods.
And the Csus2trees kept me away from Csus2you.
GmFor I brought the Dplague with them.
Csus2 With the butterflies...&qCsus2uot;
B3:
Am Hush now and let it Fgo.
Csus4 C Csus4 CloseC your eyes now.
Csus4 C Csus4 C
Am And we drift awFay, toCgether away from the pain.
Am Deep in this Fsheltering night, to a Cforgiving dream.
Am Until one minute past Fmidnight, the room Cwas filled.
C Filled only with butterflies...
