Intro:
Am, Am7 x 2
Verse:
Seven Ravens sing your Dark Chorus
C#1* C#2* Dm*
Garden of, Dorian Gray
Pay no mind, to the arousing song
For they always fade away
The morning comes without her glory
C#1* C#2* Dm*
The wake is slow to rise
Is this how you'd like to live your, story?
With a fog over your eyes, blind to the day
Chorus:
B*
Eleanor....You are mistaken you're a daughter of the sun
Your life is just as you take it
Its what you make it nothing more
B*
Eleanor you must awaken you've been slee-ping so long
Your life is passing you by, you must ignore it...Eleanor
Verse 2:
If I could shake you from this, Dark-ness
If I could just understand
If i could write a song to lift your spirits
Maybe learn the strength of heart in hand...and now I say
Chorus.
Solo/Middle 8
Chorus
As far as the solo/middle 8 is concerned, most of the chords with that should be
here. Dynamics really are key throughout this song, his use of pull-offs and hammer-ons are
what splits Matthew apart from the rest. Really recommend his album, one of the best
of 2007 for me.
