Now that I fell into your arms
My only lover
Give out to give in
I search for the capsule I lost
Drag me to hell
In the valley of The Dalles
Like my mother
Give wings to a stone
It’s only the shadow of a cross
I slept on my back
In the shade of the meadowlark
Like a champion
Get drunk to get laid
I take one more hit when you depart
I’ll drive that stake through the center of my heart
Lonely vampire
Inhaling its fire
I’m chasing the dragon too far
There’s blood on that blade
Fuck me, I’m falling apart
My assassin
Like Casper the ghost
There’s no shade in the shadow of the cross

version 7
Standard tuning, capo on 4
Picking pattern is quite basic. In order of string thickness (low to high): 1 3 2 4.
There are some variations though, but this is a starting point.
[fade-in intro]
e|----------------------|
B|----------------------|
G|-2------2------2------|
D|-0------2------2------|
A|-0-[x2]-0-[x4]-0-[x4]-|
E|-2------0------3------|
'Now that I fell...'
e|-------------------------------------------|
B|-3-------3-------3--------2--------2-------|
G|-2-------2-------2--------2--------2-------|
D|-4--[x4]-4--[x2]-4--[x2]--2--[x4]--2--[x4]-|
A|-0-------2----------------0----------------|
E|-----------------2-----------------3-------|
'My only lover...'
e|-------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------|
G|-7------7------4------2------2------2------|
D|-5------4------2------0------2------2------|
A|-5-[x4]-0-[x2]-0-[x2]-0-[x2]-0-[x4]-0-[x4]-|
E|-7------5------3------2------0------3------|
Repeat last two bars of chords, then
'oeeee'
e|-------------------------------------------|
B|-3-----------------------------------------|
G|-2------2------4------0------2------2------|
D|-4-[x2]-4------5------4------2------2------|
A|-2------4-[x2]-5-[x2]-5-[x2]-0-[x4]-0-[x4]-|
E|--------2------3------5------0------3------|
Repeat this thing again (so the two verse bars
two times, then that choir thing)
Then we arrive at the 'there's blood on that
blade'-part, which just repeat those two bars
of the verse again.
Now that I fell into your arms
My only lover
Give out to give in
I search for the capsule I lost
Drag me to hell
In the valley of The Dalles
Like my mother
Give wings to a stone
It’s only the shadow of a cross
I slept on my back
In the shade of the meadowlark
Like a champion
Get drunk to get laid
I take one more hit when you depart
I’ll drive that stake through the center of my heart
Lonely vampire
Inhaling its fire
I’m chasing the dragon too far
There’s blood on that blade
Fuck me, I’m falling apart
My assassin
Like Casper the ghost
There’s no shade in the shadow of the cross
