Most of these tabs have been collected from the now defunct Unofficial Blue Nile Website. At some point I should make a link to a downloadable version.

@ The Devil's Own

G#m				F#
	The night is dark and cold
				   D#m
	The strong winds and the rain
			   C#m
	Crack the branches upon my window
A#m			      B
	The devil beats his drum
			  G#
	Casting out his spell
			     F#m
	Dragging all his own down into hell

G#m			     F#
	The ticking of the clock
			   D#m
	Inexorably goes on
			   C#m
	The howling of the stray souls of heaven
A#m				B
	The treasures of the cove
					   G#
	Where the traders stored their gold
			    F#m
	Echo voices still dead to the world

(bass) G# A A# 
Bm			C9
	Underneath the vine
			Bm
	Shaded by the leaves
			   Bm/F#  A/E C#m
	I still hold you close    to  me
Bm			   C9
	Beneath the open stars
				      Bm
	Beneath the pillows and the sheets
			   Bm/F#  A/E C#m
	I still hold you dear     to me

The ticking of the clock
Surely sunrise won't be long
When darkness hides inside it's own shadow
The devil beats his drum
Casting out his name
Dragging all his own down into shame
