Crushed to Dust Tabs & Lyrics by Green Carnation
Crushed to Dust
guitar tabs lyrics
I was astonished when I discovered no Green Carnation tabs on here,
so I have decided to start tabbing as many of their songs as I can.
If you are interested in helping me tab any GC songs, or if you
would like to request a song for me to tab, send an e-mail to
[email protected].
Any comments, corrections, etc. are also welcome.

He took a long look in the mirror, shook his head
Felt the arms of God letting go
Couldn't breathe, it had to stop

The world was turning black, cold, cruel and vicious
A5 B5 /D5
Time was knocking on a closing door... wanting more
(Repeat Verse riff four times, into chorus)
Chorus 1 (0:57):
E5 D5 C5
Playing pieces of a life-long play in which the starring actor
B5 E5
makes the world go around inside his head
D5 C5
Then suddenly, the act is ending. The lights are dimming
D5
and the music's playing
(Note: I'm not completely sure if the following complete fill
is played under the chorus chords, or just certain
sections of it. Feel free to play whatever you want)
((Played twice))

There was a woman lying on the floor; blueish, pale
Staring a hole through his soul
There was blood underneath
A5 B5 /D5
The shotgun lying next to her... next to her

He mumbled "Am I closer now?"

"Is this the path that God has chosen out for me... out for me?"
