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:
[Cm7] -- [D#] -- [Gm - D#maj7] -- [F]
[Cm7] -- [D#]
A1:
Gm F#m (F#sus2) F#m
Cold, oh so cold is this air that the night brought.
Gm(D#maj7)Gm F#m (F#sus2) F#m
Silent, too quiet are the woods in the eve of this night.
Gm (D#maj7) 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:
[Cm7] -- [D#] -- [Gm - D#maj7] -- [F] X2
[Cm7] -- [D#]
Gm F#m
Evael, my dream has been so alive and this
D# Cm
plague has cleansed this world for us.
Gm F#m
So please,
D# Cm
release me now.
A2:
Gm (D#maj7) 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:
Cm D# Gm F#m
D# Cm Gm F#m
D# Cm
Was it a weak sound on my door that woke me up
Gm F#m
or the trees sheltering me from the night?
D# Cm
I kept my eyes closed but still felt the light,
Gm F#m
and the room was filled by butterflies.
C2:
Cm
Gm G#
I rose with my heart beating.
Cm
For the weak hope of the midnight's hour I prayed
Gm G#
and opened my door to the winter night.
Cm
And she fell... She fell to my arms.
Gm G#
In tears I carried her and laid
Cm
her down to sleep. Her eyes
Gm G#
frozen from the thousand nights alone.
Cm
She trembled and whispered:
A3:
(silence) D
"I was lost in the woods.
Csus2 Csus2
And the trees kept me away from you.
Gm D
For I brought the plague with them.
Csus2 Csus2
With the butterflies..."
B3:
Am F
Hush now and let it go.
Csus4 C Csus4 C
Close your eyes now.
Csus4 C Csus4 C
Am F C
And we drift away, together away from the pain.
Am F C
Deep in this sheltering night, to a forgiving dream.
Am F C
Until one minute past midnight, the room was filled.
C
Filled only with butterflies...
