"Chevelle" - "Shameful Metaphors"

The original Tuning for the guitar is different. I tried to transpose it, so you 
can play it in STANDARD TUNING.

/  means: slide into

The numbers in the "Shameful-Metaphors-part" mean, how often you have to hit the 
strings. (2 = 2 hits, then next chord)

C# 	  	    C#
Fear | It's all the same
	 Bbm	     Ab
Should I evolve | To tend to these 
C#			    C#
sights | Said out loud then said again
	     Bbm		    Ab
If fate's so wrong | You'll start to feel lightheaded
   F#  Ab   Bbm   C#    C#	Ab

Revolting man
 	    Bbm	            Ab
This sacred chain | Brought down to 
C#			    C#
trial | No better man could fail the way
           Bbm			Ab
You needed all | Keep close the vein of empty Thoughts
    F#   Ab   Bbm  C#       C#	   Ab
The fi - nest ri - ver, The ravens tend
        F#   Ab   Bbm   C#         C#	  Ab
All a - long in - sis - ting We're worlds away

   F#
So why then
	   C#   Bbm  Ab  (C#)  F#

I fear your eyes clo - sing
