Evael 10:00 - Swallow the Sun
(Part III of "Plague of Butterflies")
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just my intuition of the basic chord structure. If you're playing it with a guitar,
I suggest using drop-C tuning, so that you can play the C minor as an open chord.
It sounds great that way, especially with an acoustic
guitar. Hope you like the tab!

Intro:
-- -- [Gm - Ebmaj7] --
--
A:
Gm F#m (F#sus2) F#m
Cold, oh so cold is this air that the night brought.
Gm(Ebmaj7)Gm F#m (F#sus2) F#m
Silent, too quiet are the woods in the eve of this night.
Gm (Ebmaj7) Gm F#m (F#sus2) F#m
Once again I lit the candle on my window.
Gm(D#maj7) Gm F#m (F#sus2) F#m
And... And waited. Waited for the sleep...
B1:
-- -- [Gm - Ebmaj7] -- X2
--
Evael, my dream has been so alive and this
plague has cleansed this world for us.
So please,
release me now.
A2:
Gm (Ebmaj7) Gm F#m (F#sus2) F#m
Sink deeper to your loneliness and you will lead her to your grave.
Gm add9 F#m (F#sus2) F#m
She's lost in gloomy light, still trying to hold her flame.
Gm add9 F#m (F#sus2) F#m
You're losing the sunsets and you will never get them back.
Gm add9 Gm F#m (F#sus2) F#m
This life you spend in loneliness is forever in shades of black.
B2:
Was it a weak sound on my door that woke me up
or the trees sheltering me from the night?
I kept my eyes closed but still felt the light,
and the room was filled by butterflies.
C2:
I rose with my heart beating.
For the weak hope of the midnight's hour I prayed
and opened my door to the winter night.
And she fell... She fell to my arms.
In tears I carried her and laid
her down to sleep. Her eyes
frozen from the thousand nights alone.
She trembled and whispered:
A3:
(silence) D
"I was lost in the woods.
And the trees kept me away from you.
For I brought the plague with them.
With the butterflies..."
B3:
Hush now and let it go.
Close your eyes now.
And we drift away, together away from the pain.
Deep in this sheltering night, to a forgiving dream.
Until one minute past midnight, the room was filled.
Filled only with butterflies...
