INFORMATION
===================================================
Beautiful song. Some simple power chords with synthesizers and guitar
riffs that I couldn't pick up. Knock yourself out try and figure them
if you're feeling adventurous.
If you want to play acoustic version, the chord progression is
-> -> -> in tuning.
DISTORTION TUNING: Standard or drop D
CLEAN/ACOUSTIC Gt.: Eb (every string down 1 half step)
EFFECTS: Light distortion, with medium sustain
This is what I have on my Metal Zone:
Level: 9 o'clock
Low: Max
High: 10
Mid freq: Max
Middle: 12
Dist: 11
===================================================
BEGIN: Synthesizers (play chords ->->->)
and riffs for 4 measures
===================================================
so much more about you that you never let them see
You turn away
But not to me
I know how they tried to take you
Held you up and meant to break you down
But you can't be
For so long I tried to reach you
I know I'm almost there
I'm close enough for you to see
===================================================
Clean/Acoustic guitar can keep playing this progression.
Basically: = , = , = , = .
This is where distorted power chords come in.
===================================================
-> ->
You've been hiding in the shadows
Have you forgotten how we used to dream
Let me remind you
The light doesn't blind you at all
It just helps you see
Can you see
Yeah you have become
Yeah you have become beautiful
And I can't be the stranger
That's been sleeping in your bed just
Turn around and come to me
I feel all the pain inside
And everything you been denied you feel
It's all you feel
-> ->
You've been hiding in the shadows
Have you forgotten how we used to dream
Let me remind you
The light doesn't blind you at all
It just helps you see
Can you see
Yeah you have become
Yeah you have become beautiful
Yeah you have become
Yeah you have become beautiful
Brush back your hair and look around you
Feeling like the truth has found you here
You're here with me
Let love become the mirror
E#
With no fear where you're from
You have become
Yeah you have become beautiful
===================================================
MISCELLANEOUS
===================================================
Most of the percussion is played in this pattern:
x x x x x x x x
s s
x = 8th note cymbal
s = snare
b = bass drum
You can accompany with an acoustic guitar and a clean guitar.
Clean gt. plays chords down, down, down, down strumming pattern (8th notes).
The real song uses a clean guitar. I think it sounds better with acoustic.
