Edge of Thorns
by: Savatage
from the album "Edge of Thorns"
Attention guitar players: Tune your low E string to D for this song. The
chords for the verses apply only to the piano player. You would just play a
rythym in Dm.
Piano intro: The second D in this scale is an ocative higher than the first D.
D (D) D A D G D F D E D F D F E C D
The band kicks in once and awhile with a Dm
Dm Am/Dm Dm Am/Dm
An offering of reasons. We put them all in play.
Dm Am/Dm Dm Am/Dm
A covering of treasons. That one by one we let slip away.
Bridge:
Gm Dm Gm Dm
A solitary dancer. So lost upon her stage.
Chorus
Bb C Dm C Bb
I have seen you on the Edge of Dawn
C Dm C Bb
Felt you here before you were born
C Dm C Bb
Balanced your dreams upon the Edge of Thorns
Dm
But I don't think about you any-more.
Verse 2
Dm Am/Dm Dm Am/Dm
A study made from winter. Of summers long ago.
Dm Am/Dm Dm
And dreams that use to glitter safely now hidden under snow.
Bridge:
Gm Dm Gm Dm
And so we end the chapter. And let the stage lights fade.
(Repeat chorus)
Guitar riff: D A G F E E F E D (8x)
This is the pattern behind the first solo: C Am C Dm (4x)
Then it goes back to Dm for the bass riff. When the drums kick in the notes
are:
D E F E (if you want to play chords instead use Dm Em F Em )
Coming out of the solo the guitar and bass play:
A G F E (3x) The fourth pattern is: A G F E A (Then Dm)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repeat the chorus and then go back into the Dm Am/Dm pattern used
for the verses. Zach sings over this pattern:
"I don't think about you...I don't think about you" etc...
Anymore!
Repeat piano intro and end the song in Dm
