    Em                       D                C      Bm             
The clock strikes twelve and moon drops burst out of you from their

away.

the sands become a crust.  Most of you have gone away.

Note: The way I play the Em chord ( the others are played similarly ) 
is

to play like an arpeggio ie.: Hold the Em chord O22OOO and play the B

note (5th str. 2nd fret) then the E (6th open) the B again with the
Página 1 / 2
E optional (4th str. 2nd fret) and then strum the Em chord up (or 
down.)

using the first 3 strings in the open position while ringing the bass 
notes.

Second small leads (pull off 7to5 if you prefer)


           D       C                E         D       C

)
alternate up and down strumming.
