Chords in this song: Em, Am and B7 (remember to tune your WHOLE guitar down a full step first!)

Lyrics:
Ravens land upon her hair
Clouds adrift on her skin
A smile that tugs upon my soul
and whispers gently in my ear.

Eyes of honey look me down
Lips like roses line her mouth
Steely arrows in the air
are wilted flowers at her toes.

And if you ask me how I know
what she looks like I will tell you,
"she left yesterday."

Eyes are east and lips are west
pulls my head against her breast
Logic, north and Lust is south.
pulls my fingers to her mouth
Legs as firm as canyon walls
from leaping high above the moon.
When she drifts down on the air.
the ground can't wait to kiss her toes.
and if you ask me how i know
what she looks like I will tell you,
"she left yesterday."

Ravens land upon her hair
Clouds adrift on her skin
A smile that tugs upon my soul
and whispers gently in my ear.
And if you ask me how I know
what she looks like I will tell you,
"she left yesterday."
"she left yesterday."
"she left yesterday."
"she left yesterday."

Hello Mr. Voltaire. You have been one of the biggest inspirations to me since elementary school. As an aspiring artist and fundamentally fantastic adventurer of horror and the like I would like to meet you. Not certainly in person, but artist to much more experienced artist. If anything just to chat about musical and film ambitions and such. If I have to prove myself with a song I am most certainly fine with that. -Jake (a.k.a Evermore)

@theworldisugly1331 In a perfect world, I could sit and talk at great length with you and everyone else individually, however that would be counter productive because then I CERTAINLY would not have the kind of time I invest into making the music, films, books, toys, etc.. that people want to talk to me about! lol! And so we have public forums where one person's question, when answered, sate the curiosity of many. I'm afraid that short of talking to me at a show, that will have to do for now.

Mr. Voltaire if possible could you show us members of the world how to play either Innocent or The Night. The guitarwork on both of these songs sound amazing and I have spent many an hour listening to them and the rest of your music. Thank you for considering my request. Also, I'm curious if you have any ideas on what songs you plan to use for the next friday the 13th AQW release? Thank you in advance for any response

Ok, officially the funniest yet most informative 'How to play' video ever. Subsubsubsubsubsubsubsubsubsub­! =D

[ChaoticaMortis]

Most of the songs off of "Almost Human" were fantastic. "The Night" is probably my favorite song, although "Feathery Wings" is also wonderful. I'd love to see how those two are played! And thank you for starting with "Ex-Lover's Lover"!

I got here from "The Dirtiest Song That Ain't", where I was happy to find that in reply to one of the comments you have posted the chords. And I would very much like to learn "The Dirtiest Song That Ain't". I am having some difficulty working out how the chords change there. And an argument for doing it is - it uses the same chords, so whoever learned Ravens Land will already know the chords ; )
