Write me if you use this.
This song is mostly an arpeggiated chord over the verses
and a strummed chorus. On the arpeggiation, you basically
just walk the bass note to the chord.

I will give the secrets you request
and you will be the one to sacrifice
so lay your olive arms across my breast
and sing the poems, free the butterflies
[chorus]
G D
Pray your gods who ask you for your blood
G D
For they are strong and angry jealous ones
G D A G
Or lay upon my altar now your love
G
I fear my time is short
G
There are armies moving close
G
Be quick, my love
[verse -- same riff]
I feel my body weakened by the years
As people turn to gods of cruel design
Is it that they fear the pain of death
Or could it be they fear the joy of life?
[chorus]
G D
Pray your gods who rule you by your fears
G D
For they are quick and ruthless punishers
G D A G
Or lay upon my altar now your love
G
I fear my day is done
G
There are armies moving on
G
Be quick, my love
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official TOAD THE WET SPROCKET tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
