Eluveitie – A Rose for Epona

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: EADGBE
Capo @ 2nd fret

NOTE: That’s what I came up with since I first listened to the song two days ago.
It’s a simple solution, I know, and it’s not 100% accurate but should give
you a good start. Personally I prefer blocking off both E strings. Also I
like picking the first verse instead of strumming the chords.
Anyway, the hard part is singing it :p

F’: Use this F instead of barre chord (which I use on the chorus parts only)

Am, F’, G

Am, F’, G

VERSE (1st):
Am F’
Do you feel the thorns?
Do you see the tears?
Do you see the bloodshed in this fell war?

Am F’
Have you forsaken us?
Have you forgotten our
Faithful men calling your name?

VERSE:
Am F’
While I stand before you
While we perish
While I lay down a crimson rose
F’ C
While holding hands are forced apart
While hopes bog like condemned men

Were you there?

CHORUS:
The sky is falling on me
F’ G
As your hand’s turning old and weak
I’m giving myself up to thee
F’ G
A futile sacrifice gone sere

VERSE:
Am F’
In your nemeton
These grey stone walls
Are cold and silent as the fallen
F’ C
Mother gone deaf mistress of shattered hopes
And forever broken dreams

Were you there?

CHORUS:
The sky is falling on me
F’ G
As your hand’s turning old and weak
I’m giving myself up to thee
F’ G
A futile sacrifice gone sere

INTERLUDE:
Epo, Epo, why has thou forsaken me?
Together we go unsung
Into thy hand I commend my spirit
Together we go down with our people

Am, G
Am, G
Am, (Em?), F’, G
Am, F’, C, Em
Am, F’, C, Em

Were you there?
Were you there?

CHORUS:
The sky is falling on me
F’ G
As your hand’s turning old and weak
I’m giving myself up to thee
F’ G
A futile sacrifice gone sere

Falling on me…

Am, F’, G
Am, F’, G
