Cm Cm7 G# G#maj7
By the last breath of the four winds that blow
Cm Cm7 G# G#maj7
I'll have revenge upon fortunato
Cm Cm7 G# G#maj7
Smile in his face i'll say "come let us go
Cm Cm7 G#maj7
I've a cask of amontillado"
Sheltered inside from the cold of the snow
Follow me now to the vault down below
Drinking the wine as we laugh at the time
Which is passing incredibly slow
D# D#maj7 Cm Cm7 G#maj7
(what are these chains binding my arms) Cm Fm G#
Part of you dies each passing day
D# D#maj7 Cm Cm7 G#maj7
(say it's a game and i'll come to no harm) Cm Fm G#
You'll feel your life slipping away
Bridge: Cm Cm7 F G#maj7 (lick: F G Ab Bb C D D# C)
You who are rich and whose troubles are few
May come around to see my point of view
What price the crown of a king on his throne
When you're chained in the dark all alone
(spare me my life only name your reward)
Part of you dies each brick i lay
(bring back some light in the name of the lord)
You'll feel your mind slipping away
