Eb(D#) Tuning (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb) Low to High
(D# G# C# F# A# d#) Low to High
Chords used in order of appearence
(Low to High):
Verse 1:
(Palm mute each note)
1st/3 2nd/4
My ammunition won't load into my gun
My inhibitions, they fall like the weight from a stone
You lead my heart away, like a homeless, dusted fool
Somehow this dimestore ring still shines like a diamond to you
Pre-chorus:
Oh, how it deepens
Oh, how it deepens
Chorus 1:
Your mystery..... keeps on turnin' me on
D5 A5 B5 G5(once)
Your mystery.....
Verse 2:
Guitar 2 plays the chords with parenthesis
(* = A 3rd Guitar plays the picking part of Verse 1 once w/both endings
under Guitars 1 & 2 and leads into Pre-chorus)
Thought I knew the rules, thought I held it in my hand
Thought I was bulletproof, 'til the blood pooled up in the sand
Are you a satellite? A shooting star, or a dove?
Did we put you way up there or did God send you down from above?
Above....
(Repeat Pre-chorus)
Chorus 2:
Your mystery..... keeps on turnin' me on
Your mystery..... burns me up like the sun
Your mystery.....
Bridge:
(Split into 2 parts. Part one is guitar 1 playing power chords
Part two is guitar 2 playing a lead part)
Part 1:
Mine eyes have seen the glory of a love that does transcend
Mine eyes have seen the worst inside of man
And the fear is like a fallen bridge, a broken promise
And the proof is in the bloodshot eyes of the one who failed to see
Part 2:
eb|----------------------------0-------0----0h2--2----2--2--3--2--|
(* = played 16 times)
Chorus 3:
Your mystery..... keeps on turnin' me on!
Your mystery..... burns me up like the sun
(* = After playing the B5, Guitar 2 does a slide
from G-string 12th fret down the fretboard)
(Repeat Chorus 3 without slide)
Outro:
Your mystery
(Heaven is one so why believe when you can see it for yourself)?
END ON:
