If you don't know this epic beast of a track by Opeth, i could not recommend it more! A complex guitar accompanies a lovely simple tune which is easy for a beginner to pick up, with room for an intermediate to master:)
E G A - B ^C - B G G-G E
By the turnstile beckons a damsel fair
E ^C ^C ^C-^C-B A A - B A-B
The face of Melinda neath blackened hair
A A B ^C-B G A E
No joy would flicker in her eyes
E ^C - ^C ^C - B A A B A-B
A brooding sadness came to a rise....
^E B-A G - E G A - F#
Words would falter to atone
E - E E E E E - F# F#
Failure had passed the stepping stone
E ^E B-A G G A-G-F#
She'd sworn her vows to another
G G G G - F# E E-EF#
This is when no-one will bother
E G - A - B ^C G G - A E
And conceded pain in crumbling mirth
E ^C-^C ^C ^C B- A B A-B
A harlot of God upon the earth
A A B ^C-B -G A E
Found where she sacrificed her ways
^C ^C-^C ^C-B A B A-B
That hollow love in her face
^E B-A G E G A F#
Still I plotted to have her back
E - E - E E E E F# F#
Contentment that would fill the crack
E ^E B-A-G G A - G F#
My soul released a fluttering sigh
G G G G - F# E - F#-F
This day fell, darkness nigh ~
A A A B ^C ^D# ^D ^C
I took her by the hand to say
^C ^C ^C-^C-^C B A ^C B - AB
All faith forever has been washed away
A A - A A B ^C ^D# ^D-^C
I returned for you in great dismay
^C ^C ^C B A-^C B-A-B ~ A
Come with me, far away to ~ stay
A - A -A A - A B ^C-^D#-^D ^C
Endlessly gazing in nocturnal prime
B ^C ^C ^C ^C ^C B A ^C-B-A-B
She spoke of her vices and broke the rhyme ~
A - A A - A B ^C ^D#-^D ^C
Baffled herself with the final line
B ^C -^C ^C ^C B A ^C BAB A
My promise is made but my heart is thine....
