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: , x2 , , , ,
The stairwayâs spinning down
Deep beneath the fertile ground
And itâs burroughed out at the bottom
It tunnels through a buried town
I see all the lives I used to lead
Like scattered, petrified trees
The milestones and broken bones
Grow through the dirt ceiling
I drink the cup of the old lifeâs blood
But it trickles from the corner of my mouth
I wrap myself in earth
To bury the devils within the self
Iâm burnt out below the day
I see my dreams begin to fray
And youâve got nothing left to say
I never wanted you to see me this way
I crumble like a serpent in the sun
Such a curse canât come undone
All the wild moans and broken homes
Will set me off to run
Run from you
I drink the cup of the old lifeâs blood
But it trickles from the corner of my mouth
I wrap myself in earth
To bury the devils within the self
