Tears Of Blood

Key: ACapo 2Hard

A/D

A/C

covering the top 5 strings.This means, in the Chorus where it says A/D, play it as

a normal A chord in relation to the capo but add the open bottom string. The tab

below shows this: the bracketed 2's represent the capo.

A/D

However, it sounds alright if you just put the capo across all strings and play

a normal A chord if it's easier. :)

A Drop In The Ocean

It's Bbtoo late to Fcry, too Cbroken to move on.

GmStill I canF't Clet you be,

GmMost nightsF I Chardly sleep.

GmDon't take FwhaCt you don't needBb from me.

BbMisplaced trust andF old friends,

In the sDweet embrace of Atwilight

Just befBmore the night time cGame

All her cDhildren in the fAront yard

There was lBmaughter on the bGreeze

And she Bmopens up her eGyes

And she sDays "I lost my mAother,"

And a piGece of her heart Ddies

AndA time, moving Bmquickly beDfore our Geyes
