            Title: She Is Suffering

This one sounds good both on acoustic and electiric guitar.

For intro and verse James uses the following picking pattern. If you are playing an electric
guitar (white Gibson Les Paul :)) you may try to mute the strings a little so it will sound
just like the CD.

Pattern 1:
	   Dm 		Dm/C#			 Cm			  G
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------6-----------------6-----------------4----------------------------|
G|-------7-----7-----------7-----7-----------5-----5---------------4----------|
D|-----7---7-----7-------7---7-----7-------5---5-----5---------5-----5--------|
A|---5-------------5---4-------------4---3-------------3-----5---5-----5------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------3-------------3----|
     Beauty finds      refuge                    in  herself
Verse 1:

Lyrics:

Beauty finds refuge in herself
Lovers wrapped inside each others lies
Beauty is such a terrible thing
She is suffering more than death

She is suffering
She sucks you deeper in
She is suffering
You exist within her shadow

Beauty she is scarred into man's soul
A flower attracting lust, vice and sin
A vine that can strangle life from a tree
Carrion, surrounding, picking on leaves

She is suffering
She sucks you deeper in
She is suffering
You exist within her shadow

Beauty she poisons unfaithful all
Stifled, her touch is leprous and pale
The less she gives the more you need her
No thoughts to forget when we were children

She is suffering
She sucks you deeper in
She is suffering
Nature's lukewarm pleasure.
