Counting days and building walls, bells ring so's to warn
All the signs that guide us, chosen by the Argus
Tell me has chosen you
 
Led by form we shed our soul
Trusting like a child
See the dark face that saved us
Drink from his empty eyes
 
and the argus is practiced compassion
with an eye on you, as one is on me
will the god eye grant his forgiveness
letting droplets of light erupt from the sea...
 
 
Breakdown: Hammer G-C-C and strum C (sounds better on barre chords)
 
G
lying in beds of garlic and orchid
 
G
he closes an eye
 
G
which closes another
    Em
and in sleep he dreams
 
Em
of watching and looking
 
Em
and feather clouds dancing
 
Em                       G
he curls up his lid and sleeps
 
G
swirling with visions on man's confusion
 
G
all of the work
 
G
done just to appease him
 
    Em
the argus he cries
 
Em
though love has it's place in the sun
 
Em                                    G
it's only man's fear that carries him on

i think the breakdown sounds better this way.. -----------------------| |-------------3--| -3--5-5----8-7-5-7-5-3-| |-3--5--5--5--0--| -0--0-0----0-0-0-0-0-0-| x 2 then |-0--0--0--0--0--| -x--x-x----x-x-x-x-x-x-| |-x--x--x--x--0--| -2--3-3----7-5-3-5-3-2-| |-2--3--x--2--2--| -x--x-x----x-x-x-x-x-x-| |-x--x--5--x--3--| listen to the record for timing, it's unusual. play the same thing under the ending solo.

Beautiful song. Thanks for tabbing this.
