Alas My Love

string intro-
Em  Am/C  Em/B  Am  2x

Em                    Am/C
"alas my love you say goodbye

Em/B                    Am
wipe the poison from my brow

Em                       Am/C
alas my love this guilty night

Em/B                         Am
it gives me up like a foster child

and in this moment I take my vow

at these angels sleeping at my feet

Am7            Em9
and in this moment you do not know how

Am7                    E5 - F#5 - G5
how my spirit wants to flee."

Am7                       Em
You see what was one man, against the night

Am7                                            C - B -- E5 - E5 - E5 - E5
taking on a multitude that had left him high and dry

Em
no candle burning vigil could light the way,

                        E5-E5-E5-E5
darkness hit the ground like a fallen satellite

Em                                   E5-E5-E5-E5
he wrestled until morning with human souls

Em
and dark angels

Em           E5-E5-E5-E5
and there he finished his work

Em
on the third day.


remember.
