G#5 EADGBe
(i.e. lowest 3 strings of G#, 466xxx)

Black, like a forest

[This riff in between lines 1 & 2]

A|--4--3-----

And still, like a lion
My knees are bended
We used to speak
A different language

On words soon forgotten
Left unattended

But nobody’s dancing

Ah, take your time
Ah, take your time
EADGBe

How can I blame you
For all of the screaming
That I’ve had to turn to?
Just in time
To go off in my hands

That’s about it, good luck making sense of it 😉
