Epica
Track number 4 Consign To Oblivion (2005)
Tunning; 1/2 Step Up, FA#D#G#Cf (or well CAPO ON 1st FRET, if you preffer)

Well actually the guitar is not that important on this song, the important thing here is 
voice and the orchestra,
I´m giving you the chords for you o follow the song and the voice, is not hard, also you 
2 kinds of distortion,
one for the firs part of the chorus (a not so distorted one), and the other to use when 
sings "that I call home..."
(a lot of distotion). The song is basicly in Bm everything can be figured out form 
This is
a great song ant the tab works for both, the single and the recorded vertion.

Intro:no guitar, just flute and violin. (Here is the intro arrenge for guitar)

  []=Violin (from the second line and on, the violin plays the higher octave [play both 
the one you preffer])
  - - =Flute

Verse 1
Em  D       C         B5
Li..ving at different places
Em   D         C       B5
Eva..ding into various spaces
C              Em
My compass has broken
C              Em
I'm losing the way
   C       C/G           F#5    B5
An ongoing madness has led me astray

Verse 2
Em  D             C       B5
My  past breathes down my neck
Em     D         C             B5
And it seems now that all I can do is
C            Em
Go back to beginnings
     C        Em
When all lay ahead
   C        C/G          F#5        B5
A fading illusion now plagues me instead


Chorus: For this you can use the power chords isntead of the full ones. (E5 C5 D5 B5 
B5/F#)

Em    C   D              B5           Em      C
In... me there's still a place that fulfils me
D          B5          Em           C
A sanctity here that I call home, I run to
     D      B5
When winter descends
     C          C/G        B/F#
If I try, can I find solid ground

Verse 3
Em    D   C      B5
I follow elusive paths
       Em    D            C          B5
Oh, it seems they've been written in stone
        C             Em
And the door to a new life
    C         Em
Is closing so fast
   C        C/G          F#5          B5
Burning the bridges will not bring me back


Chorus: For this you can use the power chords isntead of the full ones. (E5 C5 D5 B5 
B5/F#)

Em    C   D              B5         Em      C
In... me there's still a place that fulfils me
D          B5          Em           C
A sanctity here that I call home, I run to
     D      B5
When winter descends
     C          C/G        B5/F#
If I try, can I find solid ground
