Shattered Acoustic by Trading Yesterday
This is a version of the song using DADGAD-Tuning which allows to let the notes ring
through like in the
original. For the original key (D-minor) Please use a capo at the third fret.
First verse:
Yesterday I died, tomorrow's bleeding
fall into your sunlight
the future's open wide beyond believing
to know why hope dies
d-----------------------0------------------------0----I----------------------0---------------------0---|
a----------0----------0------------0-----------0------I----------0---------0-----------0---------0-----|
G--------0----------6------------0----------9---------I--------0---------6-----------7---------6-------|
D------4----------0------------4----------0-----------I------4---------0-----------6---------0---------|
A----2----------4------------2----------0-------------I----2---------4-----------5---------4-----------|
D--5----------7------------5----------0---------------I--5---------7-----------9---------7-------------|
The same is played during the second verse:
And losing what was found, a world so hollow
suspended in a compromise
the silence of this sound is soon to follow
somehow, sundown
First bridge:
And finding answers is forgetting all of the questions we call home passing the graves
of the unknown
d---------------------------------------I------------0---------------------0--------------------|
a------------------0-----------------0--I----------0-----------0---------0-----------0----------|
G--------0-------0---------0-------0----I--------6-----------0---------6-----------0------------|
D------0-------0---------0-------0------I------0-----------0---------0-----------0--------------|
A----4-------4---------4-------4--------I----4-----------4---------4-----------4----------------|
D--4-------5---------4-------5----------I--7-----------5---------7-----------5------------------|
The verse and the second bridge are played the same.
Verse:
As reason clouds my eyes with splendor fading
Illusions of the sunlight.
A reflection of a lie will keep me waiting
with love gone for so long
Bridge:
And this day ending is the proof of time killing all the faith I know, knowing that
faith is all I hold.
Then the rest of the song after the piano solo I strum
the guitar with increasing intensity and use the following chords:
And I've lost who I am...
d B F C
d-----0--------0--------0--------0-----------------------------------------|
a-----0--------0--------0--------0-----------------------------------------|
G-----4--------0--------2--------6-----------------------------------------|
D-----o--------0--------4--------0-----------------------------------------|
A-----2--------5--------0--------7-----------------------------------------|
D-----4--------5--------0--------7-----------------------------------------|
...and I can't understand why my heart is so broken rejecting your love
Without love gone wrong lifeless words carry on but I know all I know's that the end's beginning.
Who I am from the start take me home to my heart let me go and I will run, I will not be silent.
All this time spent in vain, wasted years, wasted gain, all is lost hope remains and
this war's not over
There's a light, there's a sun taking all the shattered ones to the place we belong, and
his love will conquer.
This is repeated again. Then when the singer sings
"...will conquer all" I play the following chord and let ring out.
d--0---|
a--2---|
G--0---|
D--0---|
A--2---|
D--0---|
The End is picked exactly like the beginning (first 4 chords):
Yesterday I died, tomorrow's bleeding
fall into your sunlight.
