Darkness Within chords by Machine Head (Ver. 2)

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
Am               E7
Here in this darkness that I lay
              C
Depression heavy in its way
              F6
And how my body aches to leave
       E7      Am
And sing its final eulogy
              E7
My sons I love you evermore
                   C
And though the road beckons once more
                F6
I see the damage that I've done
        E7
And search for redemption
   Am
But I am just a broken man
   E7
Whose soul cries out to understand
C

How the madness shatters me
 F6        E7
Upon the stage on bended knee
    Am
I scream aloud at skies above
   E7
That answer mute, bereft in love
 C
I struggle not to fall from grace
 F6        E7       F
I sing the hymns of my disgrace


Chorus:
       Asus4       Am
We build cathedrals to our pain
       C      F
Establish monuments to attain
       Asus4           E7
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins
                  Am
Lest we drown in the darkness within


Verse 2:
Am            E7
Mystery's forgotten chords
                 C
I strum in vain to please the lord
              F6
But he has never answered me
         E7      Am
And faith has waned eternally
              E7
In empty men who pass along
                C
The woes of all religions wrong
                 F6
And now the shadowed veil it falls
       E7
Heed the clarion call
    Am
So pray to music build a shrine
E7
Worship in these desperate times
C
Fill your heart with every note
F6       E7
Cherish it and cast afloat
      Am
Because God is in these clef and tone
E7
Salvation is found alone
C
Haunted by its melody
F6       E7                  F
Music, it will set you free (let it set you free)


Chorus:
       Asus4       Am
We build cathedrals to our pain
       C      F
Establish monuments to attain
       Asus4           E7
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins
                  Am
Lest we drown in the darkness within

Freedom from all of the scars and the sins
                  F
Lest we drown in the darkness within

       Asus4       Am
We build cathedrals to our pain (WOAH...!!!)
       C       F
Establish monuments to attain (WOAH...!!!)
       Asus4           E7
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins (WOAH...!!!)
                 Am
Lest we drown in the darkness within (WOAH...!!!)
