Symphony X - Paradise Lost

      Symphony X - Paradise Lost

If you're using a Capo, you'll have to move it at a couple of points during the song.
I've indicated where the key changes are to help.

Dm
Bb  Am  x4

Dm
In the cold misty morning
Bb         Am  Dm
Gleaming rays awake the dawn
Bb         Am

F               G
Here I stand, a stranger in this land
           Em           F
Does your conscience betray you?
Bb
Falling from grace
         C
Feel the sun on my face
       Am   Bb    C
Does desire still hold
Dm
true?
Bb        Am

Dm
Bb        Am

Dm
Mystified by her beauty
Bb Am     Dm
Does the hunter pity his prey
Bb Am     Dm
   Under starless skies
              Bb  Am  Dm
All love must die and fade away

(here it modulates up a tone to E minor)

Em         C       D
   Take my hand, divine or damned
Em                              C D
   Make a stand, seize the day
Em                             C
Oh, yours or mine, damned or divine,
D         Em                    C D
draw the line, come what may

Em      G          D       A
Looking down from ethereal skies
Em     G           D       A
Silent crystalline tears I cry
Em           G         D        A
For all must say their last goodbye
   Em   G      D    A
To Paradise...

Em                      C    Bm          Em        C
My yearning is silenced by angelic skin of white
Bm   Em                         C    Bm
Love conquers all though heavens fall
Em                    C   Bm
This fateful night

Am              F            Em   Am
Oh,    yours or mine, damned or divine
                     F    Em
Draw the line, serpentine

B7        C
Love is a tragedy
D                Bm            C
All that I have, all that I'll ever need
              G
Is right here inside
Am                       B7
Let the winds of freedom be my guide

Em      G          D       A
Looking down from ethereal skies

C        Bm       x4

C               D
So I've cheated   and I've lied
Em                 D
Been the victim of foolish pride
C               D
And I've begged   and I've crawled
Em                   D
And I've battled it, bled for it all
C                  D
Now I'll savor the downfall
