Demon Hunter - Beheaded Acoustic

this is from demon hunter’s second album , “summer of darkness . ” i thought
it would be nice for some people to be able to hear the same lyrics
presented differently , so i worked up an acoustic version . i’ll be posting
my own recording of it on my profile if you want to actually hear how i
play and sing it . i think my guitar’s tuned down a half step , as well , just
for reference .

here are some barred chords i reduced to give it a darker , more open sound
between verses and on the bridge .

verse :
Em
in the never – ending circle where the powerless meet
there grows a struggle from the burden of sustaining defeat
C
in the face of every coward lies the blindest of hate
Am Em gbar f#bar
and in their eyes : a sharpened image of the damage they ma – ade
Em
you look at me to bear the burden of the suffering past
it wasn’t me behind the veil of a heartless mask
C
and where were you the day that everybody cursed your name?
Am Em gbar
you were the distant voice of pride that never stood the sha – ame

prechorus :
Em G
the weak of the mind will use fist , and the fist of the frail will bring gun
Am C
the loudest of guns provoke bombs , and in wrath he will chase ’til its done

chorus :
Em Am Em Am Em Am Em Am Em gbar f#bar
your history is dead wrong . dead . philosophy is dead wrong . dead . wro – ong .

verse :
Em
within the mind of modern culture there’s an idle cog
it is the section of humanity that never forgot
C
and in the midst of moving forward we have given the right
Am Em gbar f#bar
to let the wolves attack the sheep and bury guilt inside
Em
i won’t forget the twisted picture of the filth that we were
or disregard the fading voices of the people we hurt
C
but i was never pulling triggers or degrading your face
Am Em gbar
don’t look at me to give the reason for the pain that you tra – ace

prechorus :
Em G
the weak of the mind will use fist , and the fist of the frail will bring gun
Am C
the loudest of guns provoke bombs , and in wrath he will chase ’til its done

chorus :
Em Am Em Am Em Am Em Am
your history is dead wrong . dead . philosophy is dead wrong . dead . wrong .
Em Am Em Am Em Am Em Am
your history is dead wrong . dead . philosophy is dead wrong . dead . wro – ong .
