Chords

An edit of Hayman's tab, credit to him. Tabbed from the album version. I made a few changes to the chord progression and added some base notes to the chords where I think it matches the piano. Sounds okay without them though.

G                             D
As if there only everything existed in their power, yet

Am                 E 
Lo and behold they drifted of a stream humming

G                   D
How does it go? Oh 'Life is but a dream'

                   Am            E 
And on this black day the people shouted from the shore

            G               D
Screaming, 'Stop gazing and swim to save us all!'

        Am         E
But the twins they didn't hear at all

G                       D                       
They whispered nothings down the waterfall

Am                    E
And for what? Why did love become this void?

         G                    D
When the ones we love are the one we would destroy

E                                    E
Have you heard about the phrase says 'Ignorance is bliss'?

      E                        E
Well, what bliss could lead to this.
