Chords

Uncommon chords legend: D6/F#: 200202 (use thumb for bass note) Dm/F: 100231 (use thumb for bass note) D6sus2/F#: 200200 (use thumb for bass note) Am*: x02211 The first instrumental break is impossible to catch fully on one guitar, so I've left that one blank. What I always do is simply play the intro again by means of an interlude. The electronic transition between the verses and the chorus is tough to perform with only one guitar, since both the individual synth notes and the chords need to be played. 2 Instruments or very clever hands recommended. Opening synth notes: C G E(high) F# A E(low) B G# E(low) C# [Instrumental intro] Am Em D F G E7 Am A x3 [Verse 1] D
             F                  A
In the future, there will be no war

                      C/G
The loneliness outside

                   F
And the stones cry out for mercy

                  Emaj7
Will they see the Lord

                       D6/F#
The prophecy cross-eyed

                Dm/F              C/G
As it is written, I am the god of war

            F
I reside in every creature

                     D6/F#
Dispose of the future

                 Am    A
Or put away your sword
[Instrumental break] [Verse 2] D
             F                  A
In the future, there will only be war

                 C/G
Profanity outside

                  F
And after all the devastation

                Emaj7
Will we see the Lord

                D6/F#
As it is written

                Dm/F             C/G
I'm the producer, I'm the god of war

            Fmaj7
I reside in every creature

                     D6sus2/F#
Dispose of the future

                 A
Or put away your sword
