INFORMATION
===================================================
Beautiful song. Some simple power chords with synthesizers and guitar
riffs that I couldn't pick up. Knock yourself out try and figure them
if you're feeling adventurous.
If you want to play acoustic version, the chord progression is
C -> G -> Am -> F in Eb tuning.
DISTORTION TUNING: Standard or drop D
CLEAN/ACOUSTIC Gt.: Eb (every string down 1 half step)
EFFECTS: Light distortion, with medium sustain
This is what I have on my Metal Zone:
Level: 9 o'clock
Low: Max
High: 10
Mid freq: Max
Middle: 12
Dist: 11
===================================================
BEGIN: Synthesizers (play chords B->F#->G#->E) and riffs for 4 measures
===================================================
C G so much more about you that you never let them see Am You turn away F But not to me C I know how they tried to take you G Am Held you up and meant to break you down F But you can't be C For so long I tried to reach you G I know I'm almost there Am F I'm close enough for you to see
===================================================
Clean/Acoustic guitar can keep playing this progression.
Basically: B5 = C, F#5 = G, G#5 = Am, E5 = F. This is where distorted power chords come in.
===================================================
B5 -> A#5 -> G#5
B5 F#5 You've been hiding in the shadows G#5 E5 Have you forgotten how we used to dream B5 Let me remind you F#5 G#5 The light doesn't blind you at all E5 It just helps you see F#5 Can you see B5 F#5 Yeah you have become B5 E5 Yeah you have become beautiful B5 And I can't be the stranger F#5 That's been sleeping in your bed just G#5 E5 Turn around and come to me B5 I feel all the pain inside F#5 G#5 And everything you been denied you feel E5 It's all you feel
B5 -> A#5 -> G#5
B5 F#5 You've been hiding in the shadows G#5 E5 Have you forgotten how we used to dream B5 Let me remind you F#5 G#5 The light doesn't blind you at all E5 It just helps you see F#5 Can you see B5 F#5 Yeah you have become B5 E5 Yeah you have become beautiful B5 F#5 Yeah you have become B5 E5 Yeah you have become beautiful B5 Brush back your hair and look around you F#5 G#5 Feeling like the truth has found you here E5 You're here with me B5 F#5 Let love become the mirror F#5 E# With no fear where you're from B5 F#5 You have become G#5 F#5 E5 Yeah you have become beautiful

MISCELLANEOUS
===================================================
Most of the percussion is played in this pattern:
x x x x x x x x
s s
B B B
x = 8th note cymbal
s = snare
b = bass drum
You can accompany with an acoustic guitar and a clean guitar.
Clean gt. plays chords down, down, down, down strumming pattern (8th notes).
The real song uses a clean guitar. I think it sounds better with acoustic.

As always, power chords are easier in drop D tuning.
