Song: To Another Abyss
Album: The Empire Strikes First
This an awesome song off The Empire Strikes First album that was a little
to difficult for me to just tab it, so I wrote out the chords to help you
guys understand the song a little bit better. You'll need to listen to the
song to figure out the strumming patterns, but it's a very easy song to play.

G C D Eb Bb F
Gm C
Not long ago, and yet the image is so vague
D Eb Bb F
I hesitate to label it a memory
Gm C
There was a show of local color and I felt astray
D Eb Bb F
Cause I had nothing to offer but insufficiency
Eb F
And you know that it's a bitch
Eb F
When you learn to scratch that itch
Eb F
Of blatant fallibility
Eb F
Sooner to some, but eventually
Eb F
All gets pointed in the same direction
Eb F
While the human masses and their vague conceptions
Eb F
Obliterate each other with impunity
Eb F D
And you wonder, "What's in this for me?"
Gm Bb F
To another abyss
Gm Bb F
To no avail
Gm Bb F
The search is bound to fail
D Gm Bb F
To another abyss
Gm Bb F
To no avail
Gm Bb F
So long ago I set sail
Eb D
And it chills me to the bone
C F Gm Eb Bb F
That I'm so far away from home
Gm Eb Bb F
To another abyss
Post Chorus: Play 2x // b=bend // h=hammer on // p=pull off

Gm C
So what should I do now? What should I celebrate?
D Eb Bb F
Given finite means and a penchant to depreciate
Gm C
How can I still avow and depend upon a state
D Eb Bb F
That cares nothing for my happiness, welfare, or fate?
Eb F
And I know I can't explain
Eb F
The commotion in my brain
Eb F
Like a terrifying reality
Eb F
Deconstructed but inadequately
Eb F
All gets pointed in the same direction
Eb F
While the human masses and their vague conceptions
Eb F
Obliterate each other with impunity
Eb F D
and release the weight of history
Gm Bb F
To another abyss
Gm Bb F
To no avail
Gm Bb F
The search is bound to fail
D Gm Bb F
To another abyss
Gm Bb F
To no avail
Gm Bb F
So long ago I set sail
Eb D
And it chills me to the bone
C F Gm Eb Bb F
That I'm so far away from home
Gm Eb Bb F
To another abyss
Gm Eb Bb F Gm Eb
So long ago, so long ago
Bb F Gm Eb Bb F
Oh, I set sail
Gm Eb
And I'm struggling on the way
Bb F
And I'm waiting for the day (to another abyss)
Gm Eb Bb F G Eb
And I'm looking for the way back home (to another abyss)
Bb F
So far away (to another abyss)
Bb F Gm Eb Bb F
So far away (to another abyss)
Gm Eb
(to another abyss)
Bb F
So far away
Gm Eb Bb F End on: Gm
(to another abyss)
