Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

There are hammer-ons spaced sporadically throughout the song. If you listen they are easy to pick up. I play it
a half step down but I realize it may be drop D or standard. You don't have to use a palm mute but Damien does
and it makes it feel more coarse which I like. This is my first time picking out a song by ear. Please feel free
to correct if I am wrong.

Em x4

Em
I fell in to the shallow ground
G
It soon became my grave
Em
Roll my bones like a dice and play
G
And dig me with your spade
C Em
And you will steal the light
C Em
And use it for your fire

Em C G Am Em
And I will still be dead
Em C G Am Em
And I will still be dead
Em
Hold my breath I’ll come back for it
G
There’s dirt still in my lungs
Em
The insects hide while you lure his eyes
G
Coffins for our cars
C Em
And you will steal the light
C Em
And use it for your fire
Em C G Am Em
And I will still be dead
Em C G Am Em
And I will still be dead
Em
Wake me up like Lazarus
G
And call me to your side
Em
Tell me what to say and feel
G
So I can stay alive
C Em
And you will steal the light
C Em
And use it for your fire
Em C G Am Em
And I will still be dead
Em C G Am Em
And I will still be dead
