Chords

SONG: Crimson Day ARTIST: Avenged Sevenfold ALBUM: Hail to the King The clean guitar parts follows some irregular pattern of fingerpicking, not complex, you can easily play it just by listening to the song (I hope so... :P) The chords on the 'distorted guitar' parts are for acoustic guitar players. Electric guitar players should play power chords on these parts. If you are playing an acoustic guitar, you may want to play D9 or D/F# where there's a D chord, it may sound better. [Intro] Em D/F# G C Am Dsus2 Emadd9 [Verse 1] (*clean guitar*)
Em  D   G                Cadd9
Darkness brought endless rain

Am            D             G    D/F#
  Out in the cold I lost my way

    Em                      D             G              Cadd9
But storms won't last, they clear the air, for something new

Am              D                     Em
   The sun came out and brought you through,
[Pre-chorus 1]
Am                             Em
   A lifetime full of words to say

  D                                    C
A hope that time will slow the passing day
(*distorted guitar*) Em D/F# G Am G/B [Chorus]
C                     G
I've been wrong times over

    C                                 G
And I've been shamed with no words to find

           D                          Em    D
But if the sun will rise, bring us tomorrow

Walk with me,     crimson day
D/C D/B D/A G [Verse 2] (*clean guitar*)
Em    D     G           Cadd9
Don't speak, no use for words

Am          Dsus2          G    D/F#
  Lie in my arms, sleep secure

  Em                 D           G               Cadd9
I wonder what you're dreaming of, lands rare and far

Am              D                Em
   A time must fly to reach the stars
[Pre-chorus 2]
Am                             Em
   A lifetime full of words to say

A hope that time will slow the passing day
(*distorted guitar*) Em D/F# G Am G/B [Chorus]

And I've been shamed with no words to find

           D                          Em    D
But if the sun will rise, bring us tomorrow
