SECURE YOURSELF (Amy Ray) ------------------------- [Actually in B; capo 2.] [Each chord represents TWO measures.] [Asus9* means it's actually Asus9-A6sus9-Asus9-Em/A; refer to the tablature at the end for fingerings and rhythm.] [The D measures usually have a little D(9) toward the end.] [Em(4) is x02000.]
A [no guitar] G [no guitar] Secure yourself to heaven, hold on tight, the night has come D [no guitar] A [no guitar] Fasten up your earthly burdens, you have just begun
[instrumental]
In the ink of an eye I saw you bleed, through the thunder I could hear you scream
Solid to the air I breathe, open-eyed and fast asleep
Falling softly as the rain, no footsteps ringing in your ears
Ragged down worn to the skin, warrior raging, have no fear
Secure yourself to heaven, hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens, you have just begun
I'm kneeling down with broken prayers, hearts and bones from days of youth Restless with an angel's wing, I dig a grave to bury you No feet to fall, you need no ground, allowed to glide right through the sun Released from circles guarded tight, now we all are chosen ones
Secure yourself to heaven, hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens, you have just begun
Asus9 [hold] G [hold] Secure yourself to heaven, hold on tight, the night has come D [hold] Asus9* Asus9* Asus9* Asus9 Fasten up your earthly burdens, you have just begun
In the ink of an eye I saw you bleed, through the thunder I could hear you scream Solid to the air I breathe, open-eyed and fast asleep Falling softly as the rain, no footsteps ringing in your ears Ragged down worn to the skin, warrior raging, have no fear
