Track number 4 Consign To Oblivion (2005)

Tunning; 1/2 Step Up, FA#D#G#Cf (or well CAPO ON 1st FRET, if you preffer)



Well actually the guitar is not that important on this song, the important thing here is 

voice and the orchestra,

I´m giving you the chords for you o follow the song and the voice, is not hard, also you 

2 kinds of distortion,

one for the firs part of the chorus (a not so distorted one), and the other to use when 

sings "that I call home..."

(a lot of distotion). The song is basicly in Bm everything can be figured out form 

This is

a great song ant the tab works for both, the single and the recorded vertion.



Intro:no guitar, just flute and violin. (Here is the intro arrenge for guitar)



  []=Violin (from the second line and on, the violin plays the higher octave [play both 

the one you preffer])

  - - =Flute

Verse 1

Em  D       C         B5

Li..ving at different places

Em   D         C       B5

Eva..ding into various spaces

C              Em

My compass has broken

C              Em

I'm losing the way

   C       C/G           F#5    B5

An ongoing madness has led me astray



Verse 2

Em  D             C       B5

My  past breathes down my neck

Em     D         C             B5

And it seems now that all I can do is

C            Em

Go back to beginnings

     C        Em

When all lay ahead

   C        C/G          F#5        B5

A fading illusion now plagues me instead





Chorus: For this you can use the power chords isntead of the full ones. (E5 C5 D5 B5 

B5/F#)



Em    C   D              B5           Em      C

In... me there's still a place that fulfils me

D          B5          Em           C

A sanctity here that I call home, I run to

     D      B5

When winter descends

     C          C/G        B/F#

If I try, can I find solid ground



Verse 3

Em    D   C      B5

I follow elusive paths

       Em    D            C          B5

Oh, it seems they've been written in stone

        C             Em

And the door to a new life

    C         Em

Is closing so fast

   C        C/G          F#5          B5

Burning the bridges will not bring me back





Chorus: For this you can use the power chords isntead of the full ones. (E5 C5 D5 B5 

B5/F#)



Em    C   D              B5         Em      C

In... me there's still a place that fulfils me

D          B5          Em           C

A sanctity here that I call home, I run to

     D      B5

When winter descends

     C          C/G        B5/F#

If I try, can I find solid ground



Intrumental



Chorus: For this you can use the power chords isntead of the full ones. (E5 C5 D5 B5 

B5/F#)



Em    C   D              B5         Em      C

In... me there's still a place that fulfils me

D          B5          Em           C

A sanctity here that I call home, I run to

     D      B5

When winter descends

     C          C/G        B/F#

If I try, can I find solid ground





Final Chorus (Key Change) For this you can use the power chords isntead of the full 

(F#5 D5 E5 C#5 D5/A C#5/G#)



F#m   D  E               C#5         F#m    D

In... me there's still a place that fulfils me

E          C#5         F#m          D

A sanctity here that I call home, I run to

     E      C#5

When winter descends

     D          D/A        C#5/G#

If I try, can I find solid ground

   F#m                     B

Or am I just wasting time?
