-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
This is a chords version of Forget the Swan - made this as I find it a lot easier with
laid out like this when I'm singing the song. Hope it helps some people out there and
me a rating if you like. Can't wait to see them in London on December 6th!

VERSE 1
It's floating through the abyss
Under the bridge my head swings down
Beware her wrath, the image gone
The Shell is crumbling, fix my frown
PRECHORUS
This spell would be clear in non-tradition
And stepping on these pieces of pain and smirk
And rape goes through to sin my eyes
And shapes know where the heartache will lurk
CHORUS
Forget the swan, a stone swims near
A stone has come, if I could cheer
Forget the swan
Forget the swan
VERSE 2
Drifting among this ru-u-ubble
I guess the waiting, wished I would
I found a box, untethered and true
Possession it understood
BREAK ( - - ) x4
CHORUS
Forget the swan, a stone swims near
A stone has come, if I could cheer
Forget the swan
Forget the swan
repeat Intro
BRIDGE
How I tried to warn my neighbor
But the corn was much too high
In confusion up and threw him, woke up every day
But it's not too late brother, I'll still say you were mine
CHORUS
Forget the swan, a stone swims near
A stone has come, if I could cheer
Forget the swan
Forget the swan
OUTRO
Forget the swan, the dreams are gone
The pain goes on, they fly at dawn
Forget the swan
Forget the swan
Forget the swan
Forget the swan
