it sounds better but you can only play F - A then A - F)
Verse 1:
[F#m]In the valley of the dying sun
[A]I walk a crooked path alone
[F#m]I came across the shadow of a man
[A]With an angel's breath
Pre-chorus 1:
'O [F]boy' he said to me
A A - G# - G - F# - F* (quickly)
'I see your future'
F F - F# - G - G# - A*
'Though you long for peace
[A]The sword is your father
Chorus:
[Bm]I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking o[F#m]f you when I [E]kill a good man
(To keep myself from b[A]eing killed by him)
[Bm]I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking o[F#m]f you when I [E]hold my girl
(And wonder if she'll e[A]ver love again)
[Bm]I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of,
I'm thinking[F#m] of, I'm thinking [E]of you
(Wash the bl[A]ood off my hands)
[Bm]I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of,
I'm thinking[F#m] of, I'm thinking[E] of you
Verse 2 (as verse 1):
Bathed in the powder of a thousand guns
I am the king of sorrows
Watered by the tears of the innocent ones
The river grows
It moves
It swells
Pre-chorus 2 (as pre-chorus 1):
'Son' It calls to me
'Your days are numbered
Sow the seeds you will
But I am the reaper'
Chorus
Bridge:
I [F#m]howled at the moon like a wolf in the night
[F#m]You want to finish it
We're gonna finish it right
[F#m]And then I felt it with a chill up my spine
There are no words to use that truly describe
[F#m]The glory of the angel or the terror in me
Tonight will be my ending or tonight my new beginning
Others: F#m, Bm, A, C#
[D]All through the n[E]ight
I w[F#m]restled the a[E]ngel
To u[D]ndo the c[C#m]urse
That's b[Bm]urdened me a[F#m]ll of my l[E]ife
[Bm]And for the f[F#m]irst time [E]I could see[A]
[Bm]That God was [F#m]not my e[E]nemy[A]
[Bm]I'm thinking of you,[F#m] I[E]'m thinking of you[A]
[Bm]I'm thinking of you,[F#m] I[E]'m thinking of you[A]
Bm, F#m, E, A, Bm, F#m, E, A, E - Esus - E
Ending:
[F#m]Like pieces of the sun
[A]Our light burns on and on and on
[F#m]Like stars in the night sky we s[A]hine
I'm living to s[F]hine on, I'm [F]li[-]vi[F#]ng [-]to[G] [-] [G#] [-] s[A]hine on,
A - G# - G - F#* - F
I'm living to shine on,
F - F# - G - G#* - A A
I'm living to shine on, I'm living to shine on
I'm living to s[A]hine on
