Shatter Me With Hope
HIM
Tab by Russell Jackson In my opinion this is one of the best tracks on Screamworks and some of the best lyrics of Valo’s career. This tab is based on the version from the acoustic version of the album called "Baudelaire in Braille". I believe the tuning is standard however I prefer to play a whole step down (dGCFAD) as I prefer the sound and find it easier to sing to (after all we aren’t all blessed with Ville’s range). The notes on chord modifications to the right are my way of playing but use them as a reference and adapt it all to your own style. Enjoy... (Intro) (Verse 1) The girl who cried at love won’t you come and play with me? You can be Cassandra underneath the sword of Damocles We’ll tear this baby apart wise like Solomon (Alternate Am with Asus2 |-x-0-2-2-0-0-| ) (Chorus) Run come shatter me now D (Alternate D with Dsus2 |-x-x-0-2-3-0-| ) Shatter me with hope Crawl come breathe me in bleed out sorrow Scream me a dream untouched by shadows Baby shatter me now shatter me now Shatter me with hope (Verse 2) She’ll be the witness to the repose of Evelyn Push the needle in To the of canticles of ecstasy Turn to page 43 Am (Alternate Am with Asus2 |-x-0-2-2-0-0-| then straight into chorus) And you’ll know how I feel (Chorus) Run come shatter me now D (Alternate D with Dsus2 |-x-x-0-2-3-0-| ) shatter me with hope Crawl come breathe me in bleed out all sorrow Scream me a dream untouched by shadows Baby shatter me now shatter me now shatter me with hope (Outro - Strum each chord once) Swear on your heart’s grave I’m wrong and love like your life’s depending on it (because it is!) I hope you enjoy playing this as much as I do. Feel free to leave comments/suggestions (This is my first tab submission). Have a good day!
