Intro:
Am, Am7 x 2

Verse:
Am                     E       E7
Seven Ravens sing your Dark Chorus
C#1*     C#2*       Dm*
Garden of, Dorian Gray
F                   E        E7
Pay no mind, to the arousing song
F                   E    E7
For they always fade away

Am                         E     E7
The morning comes without her glory
C#1*      C#2*       Dm*
The wake is slow to rise
F                                E      E7
Is this how you'd like to live your, story?
F                    E      E7          Am
With a fog over your eyes, blind to the day

Chorus:
Am     E             F               C               B*
Eleanor....You are mistaken you're a daughter of the sun
             Dm             F
Your life is just as you take it
               E               Am
Its what you make it nothing more
Am  E               F               C      C/B     B*
Eleanor you must awaken you've been slee-ping so long
              Dm          F            E          Am     E7
Your life is passing you by, you must ignore it...Eleanor

Verse 2:
If I could shake you from this, Dark-ness
If I could just understand
If i could write a song to lift your spirits
Maybe learn the strength of heart in hand...and now I say

Chorus.

Solo/Middle 8

Chorus

As far as the solo/middle 8 is concerned, most of the chords with that should be
here. Dynamics really are key throughout this song, his use of pull-offs and hammer-ons are
what splits Matthew apart from the rest. Really recommend his album, one of the best 
of 2007 for me.
