This is from Demon Hunter's second album, "Summer of Darkness." I was
trying to learn it on this site when I realized the chords in the chorus
were actually really easy, so I tried making the rest of it into an
acoustic song...and this is what I came up with. I thought it would be nice
for some people to be able to hear the same lyrics presented differently.
I'll be posting my own recording of it on my profile if you want to
actually hear how I play and sing it. I think my guitar's tuned down a half
step, as well, just for reference.
Here are some funky chords I use in the first and second choruses and the
tag...all other chords are either normal chords or power chords exactly as
written.

acoustic song...and this is what I came up with. I thought it would be nice

for some people to be able to hear the same lyrics presented differently.

step, as well, just for reference.

Here are some funky chords I use in the first and second choruses and the
