Ode To Darkness The Lighthouse Song Cifras

Capo 3
 
# I don't think the original uses a Capo, but arpeggiating the chords and
# decorating with some Hammer on and pull-off stuff makes it sound decent enough.
# In the outro, there's a choir singing both lines with different melodies,
# while the main vocal ad libs.
 
 
[Verse 1]
       C
In the darkness of the world
     Am
Is a safe place above all
          Fmaj7
One where no one sees the scars
              G
That made you stronger
 
       Dm
In the ocean in the night
       Am
Is the silence of a fight
    F#m               Em
To avoid the blinding light
              D
That wants to conquer
 
          C               G
And you'd say it's rather odd
        Em                Bm
That in all this world of God
         Fmaj7
I'd much rather live where suns
              E
Don't come to shine through
 
          Am                 G
See, I've learned it in hard ways
          Fmaj7              C
That when someone knows your face
        Dm             C
They no longer see the soul
            G
That sure defines you
 
         C
So where nothing ever shines
        Am
I'm the ruler by design
      Fmaj7
All I need is but a voice
               E
And strings to pluck on
       Am                  G
And my heart that beats so strong
       Fmaj7            C
To the rhythm of my song
       Dm              C
Has no face so he's no slave
        G                Fmaj7
And the shackles are all gone
        N.C.             C    G/B
And the shackles are all gone
 
[Chorus]
Am           Em
Turn off the lighthouse
    Fmaj7        C G/B Am
And blow out the fi- - -re
           G            C
It's never saved one of us
 
Am          Em
This pretty darkness
   Fmaj7   C G/B Am
Is all I desi- - -re
            G
It's always done more for
F                            C
Freedom than light ever does
 
[Verse 2]
       C
In the solitude I keep
       Am
While awake and while asleep
     Fmaj7
If I ever wished that I
          G
could be another
 
       Dm
I have found a great relief
            Am
Through the fear and through the grief
       F#m               Em
In the love my songs and I
              D
Have for each other
          C                    G
They have taught me through my breath
      Em             Bm
About life and about death
         Fmaj7
And have seen my future years
            E
Before they came true
 
       Am               G
In the darkness of this world
        Fmaj7       C
In this quiet above all
     Dm               C
All alone and right before
              G
The sky could turn blue
 
         C
So where nothing ever shines
        Am
I'm the ruler by design
      Fmaj7
All I need is but a voice
               E
And strings to pluck on
       Am                  G
And my heart that beats so strong
       Fmaj7            C
To the rhythm of my song
       Dm              C
Has no face so he's no slave
        G                Fmaj7
And the shackles are all gone
        N.C.             C    G/B
And the shackles are all gone
 
[Chorus]
Am           Em
Turn off the lighthouse
    Fmaj7        C G/B Am
And blow out the fi- - -re
           G            C
It's never saved one of us
 
Am          Em
This pretty darkness
   Fmaj7   C G/B Am
Is all I desi- - -re
            G
It's always done more for
F                       C   G/B
Freedom than light ever does
 
Am           Em
Turn off the lighthouse
    Fmaj7        C G/B Am
And blow out the fi- - -re
           G            C
It's never saved one of us
 
Am          Em
This pretty darkness
   Fmaj7   C G/B Am
Is all I desi- - -re
            G
It's always done more for
F
Freedom than light ever does
 
[Outro]
 Am   Em      Fmaj7 C G/B Am  G F
(Turn out the lighthou- - - - - -se)
(Blow out the Fi- - - - - - - - -re)
