EVANESCENCE

Album
Fallen

My Immortal
By Ben Moody, Amy Lee, and David Hodges

Now, this isn't the version that gets hard for a minute towards the end. As
you probably know, the original CD version doesn't have a guitar part in it
whatsoever. I figured out the picking for the intro and the verses, but
haven't gotten to the rest of the song yet. I'm just strumming the chords
for them right now (check the time that I made this file, you'll see why).
If you have any suggestions as to those, or any other part of this tab
(it's my first), shoot me an email. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did
writing it!

1st Verse

A                           C#m     A(9)
  I'm so tired of being here

                      C#m
Suppressed by all my     childish fears

A
  And if you have to leave

C#m
    I wish that you would just leave

A(9)                                         C#m
    'Cause your presence still lingers here

                           F#m
And it won't leave me alone


Chorus

C#m                              F#m
These wounds won't seem to heal

C#m                   F#m
This pain is just too real

C#m                        E       Esus    E       F#m
There's just too much that time cannot   e - rase

     E/D         Esus/D  E         C#m                F#m
When  you cried, I'd     wipe away all of your tears

           E/D      Esus/D  E          C#m
When you'd  scream, I'd     fight away all of your fears

F#m      E/D  Esus/D  E            C#m              F#m
And I've held your    hand through all of these years

   E/D         Esus/D  E
But, you still         have

       A   C#m  A(9)  C#m
All of me


2nd Verse

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But, now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face, it haunts
My once pleasent dreams
Your voice, it chased away
All the sanity in me


Bridge

D(9)          F#m            C#m
I've tried so hard to tell myself

            D
That you're gone

    Bm9                    C#m
And though you're still with    me

E/D  D        E    Esus    F#m   D  E  C#m  F#m  D  E  C#m
I've been a - lone all along


Chorus (then to outro)


Outro

         A     C#m
--All of me    all

   A(9)      C#m    A
Of me___________    all

C#m  A(9)  C#m  A
Me
