3 Libra's - A Perfect Circle

Hi all,

The greatest rocksong in this era! When I first heard this song, 
It didn't hit to me straight away. It took some time to grew into it. 
Now i can say this is one of the best rocksongs probably ever writtin. 
Especially with these great lyrics.

So I picked up my guitar to sort out the chords to this beautifull song. 
I'm not very good with naming these chords, so I suggest you watch my 
fingersettings carefully as they work for me. Ofcourse if you want to 
make some comments or rewrite it, you are more than welcome to do so.

The outstanding intro (and bridge) looks simple, but need some exercise 
to play propperly. (I'll give you the chords, you sort out the notes!) 
The rest of the song the chords are pretty forward. 

Playing these chords will make you understand the songstructure even better!


HAVE FUN AND ROCK ON KIDS, Danny Burgemeestre.

The official lyrics are slightly different then what Maynard 
sings on the "Mer de Noms"-album. These lyrics suppose to be 
the original ones.

so i threw you the obvious 
to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel, 
eyes of a tragedy. 
oh well. apparently nothing.
you don't see me. 
you don't see me at all.
