Chords

------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Kevin Fortier Email: [email protected] Tunning: Standard Em - 022000 MsbK - Slow bend on Mth fret C - x32010 to the Kth note C~~ - Hit once, let ring. (MsbK similar sound to M/K) G - 320033 KrM - Release from Kth note G/F# - 200033 to Mth fret G/F#** - only 2 strums (KrM similar sound to K\M) Dadd4 - 554030 or x54030 {Dadd4add9} / - Slide up \ - Slide down h - Hammer-on p - Pull-off ~ - Let ring Note - The Dadd4 chord choice depends on how much the player strums on his or her bottom string. I recommend 554030. - The strumming can be figured out by listening to the song, although note that during the chorus, it is something played like:
       e|-0000-0000-0000-0000-0...
       B|-3330-0000-1110-1110-3...

       G|-0000-0000-0000-0000-0...  (General idea)
       D|-4444-2222-2222-2222-4...
       A|-5555-2222-3333-3333-5...
       E|-5555-0000-xxxx-xxxx-5...
and the strumming is different from the first verse compared to the second verse. - Pay close attention for timing on the solo. - Depending on your guitar and amp settings (tone, etc..), some notes on the solo might be at different locations, but they are at that same note and same octave. [Intro] Em - C - G - G/F# - Em - C - G [Verse] G/F# Em C G G/F# Em I awoke only to find my lungs empty and through the night C G G/F# Em so it seems I'm not breathing and now my dreams C G are nothing like they were meant to be G/F# Em C G and I'm breaking down, i think I'm breaking down G/F# Em C G and I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me G/F# Em C G such as living with the uncertainty G/F# Em C that I'll never find the words to say G G/F# Em C G G/F#** which would completely explain, just how I'm breaking down [Chorus] Dadd4 Em C someone come, someone come and save my life Dadd4 Em maybe I'll sleep when I am dead C but now it's like the night is taking sides Dadd4 Em C and all the worries that occupy the back of my mind Dadd4 Em C could it be this misery will suffice? Em - C - G - G/F# - Em - C - G G/F# Em C G G/F# Em I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill and like the sea C G G/F# I'm constantly changing from calm to ill Em C madness fills my heart and soul G G/F# Em as if the great divide could swallow me whole C G G/F#** oh how I'm breaking down [Play Chorus] [Bridge] Guitar 1 Dadd4 - Em - C - C x4 (Chorus Chords with same progression) Em - C - G - G/F# - Em - C - G - G/F#**
