The song is played in half-step down tuning but I didn't feel like adding
flat symbols to the chords so just play the song with these chords only a
step down from standard. Also on a side note when playing GM7 make sure for
it to be in open position, in fact they are all open position chords but
it's important to play GM7 open because while you're playing this chord the
note-run melody is played in the 2nd fret of the the high E going like this
2nd 3rd 5th 3rd on the frets and at one point the note run switches between
2nd and 3rd only.
Intro: D, GM7 x2 Em, Bm, A, Em, G
D
The stairway’s spinning down
Deep beneath the fertile ground
And it’s burroughed out at the bottom
GM7
It tunnels through a buried town
Em
I see all the lives I used to lead
A Em
Like scattered, petrified trees
G
The milestones and broken bones
D GM7
Grow through the dirt ceiling
Em Bm A Em
I drink the cup of the old life’s blood
Bm A Em
But it trickles from the corner of my mouth
Bm A
I wrap myself in earth
Em G D GM7 D GM7 Em Bm A Em Bm A Em G
To bury the devils within the self
D
I’m burnt out below the day
I see my dreams begin to fray
And you’ve got nothing left to say
GM7
I never wanted you to see me this way
Em
I crumble like a serpent in the sun
A Em
Such a curse can’t come undone
G
All the wild moans and broken homes
D
Will set me off to run
GM7
Run from you
Em Bm A Em
I drink the cup of the old life’s blood
Bm A Em
But it trickles from the corner of my mouth
Bm A
I wrap myself in earth
Em G D GM7 D GM7 Em Bm A Em Bm A Em G D
To bury the devils within the self
