THE DAY - Sonata Arctica
Acoustic version by sinForge xJp
Standard Tuning (EADGBe), Capo 1
This is NOT based on an acoustic performance/recording!!

========================================================
*The way the guitar sounds in this song, I'll assume  |
 Elias was using a 7-string (tuned a half step down)  |
 the way he usually does, but I tabbed the chords for |
 a 6-string in standard tuning like I usually do!!!   |
 The capo puts the bulk of the song in the correct    |
 key.  It makes the intro a hassel, but it's doable*  |
