Tabbed by: axe victim
Email: contact me at my 'Ultimate Guitar' profile.

Second track from the 'Modern Music' album.  This tab covers the 
electric guitar parts mostly, for the acoustic guitar strum more 
freely, I have added chord names but you could substitute regular 
major chords for the verses if you like - listen to the track to 
get it just right, I have tried to keep it simple and capture the 
essence of it. Go for a slow, epic feel.


Tuning:EADGBe

Lyrics:

All the white horses ran bleeding to the end
Shot through the heart by dear devoted passion
And the falling stars that never fall
But send ambassadors to call
Still call the guilty guns to heaven

All the wild ones keep their shades pulled down
They hide their dead eyes from the ground
They starve their souls with murder proud
Beneath the shroud, beneath the shroud

And in a corner by the door, in a picture on the wall
Hangs a man of hollow leather
I can see his broken grin, his fallen hope his glorious sin
Bejewelled and robed in splendour

See the clouds form without sound
Dark and swollen, torn and bound
By the storm that screams around
In the heads of those he found
Beneath the ground, beneath the ground

in the grey corridors of melting ice...
In the cold golden claw of autumn nights...
You can find us again in paradise...

We are the voice in the shadows, the curse that's binding
We the crack in the mirror, the seeker finding
We are the light in the lantern, your blindness brought you
We are the dazzling phantoms...
Of dark misfortune...
