Standard Tuning
Bar chords work really well for this song!
While you can certainly strum the chords, it will sound more like the
original if you adapt a finger picking pattern such as:
[Bbm] [C#] [Ab]
E----------------- ------------------------------|
G--------2-----2-- -------6----------------------|
B----3-----3------ ---6-----6---6--------5-------|
D------3-----3----(x2)-----6-----6------6-----6---6-| Repeat
A--1-------------- -4------------------6-----6---|
E----------------- ----------------4-------------|
Introduction:
[D#m] [C#] [Ab] [D#m] [C#m] [Ab]
VERSE 1
There's a c[Bbm]hill upon the air
And d[C#]ays are down and [Ab]dire
And [Bbm]all our doubt grows wings
And our [C#]wickedness [Ab]conspires
[Bb]No one will sleep [C#]soundly
In this [Ab]tangled web of spite
We're in for a [D#m]lo-o-[Ab]o-ong [Bbm]night
VERSE 2
The [Bbm]relentless beat of time
Will take its [C#]heavy-handed [Ab]toll
Til the [Bbm]hurt runs through your veins
From [C#]pole to icy [Ab]pole
And the [Bbm]ones you love so [C#]well
Have [Ab]all been lost from sight
Into the [D#m]lo-o-[Ab]o-ong [Bbm]night
SOLO
[F#](Li[C#]ste[Ab]n t[Bbm]o th[F#]e s[C#]ong[Ab] to[F#] ge[C#]t t[Ab]imi[F#]ng [C#]rig[Ab]ht)[F#][C#][F#]
[Bbm]Until the hand no longer holds
[C#]Fast the man-made [Ab]blade
And [Bbm]blood for blood our debt
In [C#]hollow ground is [Ab]laid
We'll [Bbm]greet each other [C#]blindly
In the [Ab]absence of all light
Afraid of the [D#m]lo-o-[Ab]o-ong [Bbm]night
Afraid of the [D#m]lo-o-[Ab]o-ong [Bbm]night
