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!

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...

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?

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...
