The Labyrinth Song Uke tab by Asaf Avidan

Gm
Evening rises,

darkness threatens to engulf us all
                  F
but the there's a moon above,

it's shining and I think I hear a call.
            Gm
It's just a whisper through the trees

my ears can hardly make it out
          F
but I can hear it in my heart,

vibrating strong as if she shouts.


      Dm 
Oh Ariadne, I'm coming
                                        C
I just need to work this maze inside my head.

I came here like you asked,
                                      Dm
I killed the beast that part of me is dead.

Oh Ariadne,
                                        C
I just need to work this maze inside my head.

if only I'd have listened to you
                         Dm
when you offered me that thread.

Gm
Everything is quiet

and I'm not exactly sure
      F
if it really was your voice I heard

or maybe it's a door,
               Gm
that's closing up some hero's back

on his track to be a man.
       F
Can it be that all us heroes have a path

but not a plan?


      Dm
Oh Ariadne, I'm coming
                                        C
I just need to work this maze inside my mind.

I wish I had that string it's so damn dark
                  Dm
I think I'm going blind.

Oh Ariadne,
                                        C
I just need to work that maze inside my mind.

For the life of me,
                             Dm
I don't remember what I came to find.

    Gm
Now tell me princess

are you strolling through your sacred grove?
           F
And is the moon still shining,

you're the only thing I'm thinking of.
              Gm
The sword you gave me, it was heavy,

I just had to lay it down.
                 F
It's funny how defenseless I can feel here

when there's nobody around.


      Dm
Oh Ariadne, I'm coming
                                        C
I just need to work this maze inside my heart.

I was blind, I thought you'd bind me
                     Dm
but you offered me a chart.

Oh Ariadne,
                                        C
I just need to work this maze inside my heart.

If I'd known that you could guide me
                           Dm
I'd have listened from the start.

Gm
Somewhere up there, midnight strikes.

I think I hear the fall
          F
of little drops of water

magnified against the barren wall.
           Gm
Its more a feeling than a substance

but there's nobody around
             F
and when I'm in here all alone

it's just enough to let me drown.


      Dm
Oh Ariadne, I was coming
                                         C
but I failed you in this labyrinth of my past.

Oh Ariadne, let me sing you
                          Dm
and we'll make each other last.

Oh Ariadne,
                                          C
I have failed you in this labyrinth of my past.

Oh Ariadne let me sing you
                          Dm
and we'll make each other last.
