HIM In Venere Veritas Acoustic chords

In Venere Veritas Acoustic by Him

Tabbed by Russell Jackson

One of the best songs on Screamworks, and really easy to play. This is based on the acoustic version from
"Baudelaire in Braille", and is played half a step down ( |-eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb-| ). Enjoy...


(Intro)

Eb|----3---2---0-----------------2----0-------------------------|    (Play whichever you prefer. I prefer the
Bb|------------------0-------------------------3----------------|     higher notes, but it would sound best
Gb|----(0)------------------------------------------2-----------|     played with two guitars)
Db|--------(4--(2)---------------(4)---(2)---(0)----------------|
Ab|-----------------(2)----------------------------(0)----------|    (Let final note ring out into verse)
eb|-------------------------------------------------------------|


(Verse 1)


Em          G          D           Am  C
   Zipping Cupid in a body bag well-worn
              G              D
Next to the mausoleum he was born in
Em                 G             D               Am  C
   Picking up the pieces of this gory glory of it all
            G       D                 
From Eve to mourn          (Let D ring out into chorus)
From Eve to mourn


(Chorus)

       C  G             
Have no fear
          Am                    G
There are wounds that are not meant to heal
         D        Em          D               
And they sing, in venere veritas           (Alternate D with a strum of Dsus2 if you like)
       C G
Come inside
Am                 G
Let the fire burn you alive
    D          Em
And sing, baby sing
          D                   C                 G-D-Em            
There are wounds that are not meant to heal at all            (Play G and D for half a bar each)

G C  Am                  
                       (Pick individual notes of C, then strum Am once. Listen to the song if you're not sure)


(Verse 2)

Em                     G                 D                Am           C
  There's a method to our sadness as we drag the mirrored ball and chain
              G     D
Through the twilight again
D               D              
Dressed up in shame            (Let D ring into chorus)


(Chorus)

       C  G
Have no fear
          Am                    Em     
There are wounds that are not meant to heal
         D        G           D               
And they sing, in venere veritas              (Alternate D with a strum of Dsus2 if you like)
       C  G
Come inside
Am                 G
Let the fire burn you alive
     D         G        
And sing, baby sing
          D                     C              G
There are wounds that are not meant to heal at all
   D           G       D-Em       G               
In venere veritas                        (Play D & Em half a bar each)

C             Am            Em  G
  Let's fall apart together now
C             Am            Em                  
  Let's fall apart together now              (Let Em ring out)
