The Art Of Suicide

Emilie Autumn

Text File

You don't get many Emilie Autumn tabs or chords, so I thought I'd upload an easy one. A 
of this has been worked out by myself, as the chords from the Emilie Autumn forum, 
brilliant.

This sounds good at standard tuning, or with the capo at the 2nd.

The F chord is like this:

1st finger, B1.
2nd finger, G2.
3rd ginger, D3.

Sorry, I don't know the name for it! D: F major maybe?

Intro: C, Am, C, Am, F, G.


Verse chords.

C      Am     C
   The art of suicide
   Am             F
   Nightgowns and hair
                G
   Curls flying every which where
C      Am       C
   The pain too pure to hide
   Am         F
   Bridges of Sighs
               G
   Meant to conceal lover's lies

Bridge Chords.

   F         Am
   Under the arches
      F             Am
   Of moonlight and sky
   F        Am
   Suddenly easy
      F           Am
   To contemplate why
   Am Em
   Why...

Chorus Chords.

              F Am
   Why live a life
                       F
   That's painted with pity
                   C
   And sadness and strife
               F Am
   Why dream a dream
                       F
   That's tainted with trouble
                    C
   And less than it seems
              F Am
   Why bother bothering
              F
   Just for a poem
                  C
   Or another sad song to sing
              Am
   Why live a life
              G
   Why live a life

Verse 2.
The art of suicide
Pretty and clean
Conveys a theatrical scene
"Alas, I'm gone!" she cried
Ankles displayed
Melodramatically laid

Bridge.
Under the arches
Of moonlight and sky
Suddenly easy
To contemplate why
Why...

Chorus.
Why live a life
That's painted with pity
And sadness and strife
Why dream a dream
That's tainted with trouble
And less than it seems
Why bother bothering
Just for a poem
Or another sad song to sing
Why live a life
Why live a life

           F               Am
   Life is not like Gloomy Sunday
                 F
   With a second ending
            Am         C
   When the people are disturbed
             F
   Well they should be disturbed
   Am                F
   Because there's a story
        Am          C
   That ought to be heard
           F               Am
   Life is not like Gloomy Sunday
                 F
   With a second ending
            Am         C
   When the people are disturbed
             F
   Well they should be disturbed
   Am                F
   Because there's a lesson
               Am          C
   That really ought to be learned

F                       Am
   The world is full of poets
            C
   We don't need any more
F                       Am
   The world is full of singers
            C
   We don't need any more
F                       Am
   The world is full of lovers
            C
   We don't need any more...

F Am & C X2 to end.
