Orestes

Orestes

This is my rendition of Orestes.  I usually play this on acoustic and it has a much
different feel to it.  Hope you like it.

Strum  - Down Down Up Down Up for each chord

A C G         F
Metaphor  
      A  C    G F
For a missing moment
A    C  G   F
Pull me in 
        A  C    G   F
To your perfect circle
A   C
One womb
G   F
One shame
A   C G       F
One resolve
     A   C    G      F
Liberate this will 
      A    C  G      F
to release us all
     A         G  
Gotta cut away, clear away
F
Slip away and sever this
A        G    F
Umbilical residue that's
(Stop)                          A   C   G   F
Keeping me from killing you
         A           C         G     F          A   C   G   F
And from pulling you down with me in here
      A           C G F        A (hold out A for two measures )
I can almost hear you scream


A            G              F
One more medicated peaceful moment
              A       G              F 
Give Me, One more medicated peaceful moment
      A                     G            F (Hold two measure)
And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility
   A                    G            F (Hold two measures)
I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility


     A         G  
Gotta cut away, clear away
F
Slip away and sever this
A        G    F
Umbilical residue that's
(Stop)                          
Keeping me from killing you

A  C  G  F    X4


E  F#  G  B  C (Used to lead into last chorus)

     A         G  
Gotta cut away, clear away
F
Slip away and sever this
A        G    F
Umbilical residue that's
(Stop)                  A        
Keeping me from killing you
