For the most part it seems, this melody is played
in the background during the verses.
 
 
[Verse] (1)
 
A                     Cadd9
(love) love is a verb love is a doing word
G                A
feathers on my breath
A                Cadd9
gentle impulsion shakes me makes me lighter
G                A
feathers on my breath
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F*
teardrop on the fire
G*               A
feathers on my breath
 
 
[Verse] (2)
 
A                      Cadd9
in the night of matter black flowers blossom

feathers on my breath
F*
black flowers blossom
G*               A
feathers on my breath

The intro needs to be: e|-------0--------------0--------0---------------------------| b|-------------3-----3----------------3-----3----------------| g|-----2----2-----2-----------2----2-----2-----2-------------| d|-----------------------------------------------------------| a|--0---------------------0----------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------| In the verse: the cadd9 is supposed to be a G and the G is supposed to be a Dsus2. As for the rest of the song it is correct.
