Eadd#11 022300 (no3) You only really need to play the bottom four strings, the same generally applies for Em, E and Esus4. Asus2* - can also play A as the vocal is on the major 3rd. [Intro] Bm [Verse 1]
Bm                     A
    Pour the wine and raise a cup

F#m                    Esus4       E
    Drink up brothers, you know how

Em                       F
    And spill a drop for Orpheus

    Wherever he is now
[Chorus]
Em            F                        Em
   Some birds sing when the sun shines bright

              F        G
Our praise is not for them

        Em                   F             G
But the ones who sing in the dead of night

   F         G       Asus2
We raise our cups to them
[Verse 2]
Bm                A
   Wherever he is wandering

   Alone upon the Earth

Em                   F
   Let all our singing follow him

And bring him comfort
[Chorus]
Em              F                           Em
   Some flowers bloom where the green grass grows

              F        G
Our praise is not for them

        Em                    F           G
But the ones who bloom in the bitter snow

   F         G       Asus2*
We raise our cups to them
[Outro]
   F         G                   A
We raise our cups and drink them up

   F           G                A
We raise 'em high and drink 'em dry

   F     G            A
To Orpheus and all of us

    F            G        A
Goodnight, brothers, goodnight
