COHEED AND CAMBRIA - THREE EVILS EMBODIED IN LOVE AND SHADOW CHORDS

Tuning: E A D G B E

Three Evils Embodied in Love and Shadow by Coheed and Cambria. All I've ever wanted with guitar is to strum some chords and jam out my favorite songs. There weren't any chord diagrams for this song, so imaedit. Disclaimer: The Chords throughout the Verses aren't song acurate, They serve for simplicty of playing and will play through the song nicely. these chords create a simpler rythm when attempting to sing and play at first. This helps find where all those syllables fit in the song. If you're like me, you'll end up replacing this simpler pattern for the trickier intro pattern you here in the song. Also, The intro I have listed isn't song accurate either, but a simplier substitute that will work for intro and throughout the verses. [Intro] A Asus4 F# Dsus4 Asus4 Essentially looks like: EADGBE x0223x Dsus4? Essentially looks like: EADGBE xx003x [Verse 1]

^AAcross the floor, in the ^F#hand of where we ^Edrove the d^Arill ^F# ^E ^A ^AA cautious e^F#ar to the mout^Eh of your confession ^B5Think of all the things we put him through

Throughout these last choruses I have the first Emaj listed for simplicity. When I play this song I use a more subtle Ab Chord (Which is really Emaj Omitting the 2nd fret A string note)x02100. It adds a subtle warmth and creates the fluid descension of notes heard in the song, rather than the jumping to-and-fro of notes we hear previously in the song. Of course the Emaj works great for keeping the song simple to play through. Also, the D5 for these choruses I play with open chords. (Which is a Dmaj omitting the 2nd fret high E string note). EADGBE x00230 And lastly, the C#5 is optional. It gives it that signature coheed sound we hear throughout their music. Totally optional though, the song plays just fine without it. All these suggestions completley optional of course! These are just the basic notes, feel free to play whichever way sounds best to you! [Chorus]

^Asus2Dear, my fr^Eiends In the time we've s^F#pent Forever after, beyond t^Ehis When will our nightmare ever ^D5end, end, end?

^Asus2Dear, my f^Eriends In the time we've spent Forever after, beyond t^Ehis When will our nightmare ever ^D5end, end, end?

^Asus2Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops ^EPull the trigger and the nightmare stops ^F#Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops ^EForever you will, forever you will ^D5learn ^C#5

^Asus2Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops ^EPull the trigger and the nightmare stops ^F#Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops ^EForever you will, forever you will ^D5learn ^C#5 ^Asus2
