Tempest (Chords)
[Verse 1]
Dm C
When your brother, the wind, turns against you
Gm Am
And the rising storm roils the waves
Dm C A#maj7
When the mountain blue on the distant shore
Am
Is deemed by raging waters, your horizon is lost
Dm C Gm
When your sister, the wind, turns against you
Am
And the trees are torn from their roots
Dm C
When the ancient oaks of the forest
Gm Am
Come crashing down to the ground
[Chorus 1]
Em D Cmaj7 C
But when darkness prevails, all hope is lost
Am Em
And emptiness conquers all
D
Dims the fire in your heart
C Am
The dead will come to your aid
Gm C D
And the wise shall stand by your side
[Verse 2]
Dm C
When you turn against yourself
Gm Am
You will bury each hope and dream
Dm C
All blessings will turn to curses
Gm
As the fire in your heart
Am
It flickers, soon to go out
[Chorus 1]
Em D Cmaj7 C
But when darkness prevails, all hope is lost
Am Em
And emptiness conquers all
D
Dims the fire in your heart
C Am
The dead will come to your aid
Gm C D
And the wise shall stand by your side
[Bridge]

Who have come for the aid of their kin
Cm A#m C
Amassed their ancient wisdom
Fm D#
All of their arts appended
Cmaj7
They have brought you here today

And will usher you into tomorrow
[Verse 3]
Dm C
You'll see the mountain blue
C
Glimmering in the distance
Gm Am
Waiting for you
Dm
It's looking at you
C
It sees your life
Gm
It's looking at you
Am
It knows your death
