Author/Artist: Bruce Dickinson Title: Acoustic Song Album: The Best Of Bruce Dickinson Transcribed by: Thiago Augusto Email: prince-of-darkness@bol.com.br Well, this is what I was able to tab. This song is very beautiful, with a "sad" chord progression. The song has many variations, and I don't think I can tab everything... but I'll do my best! :) Here it comes: Intro: -----------------------2--------2h3p2----------------------------------------|

Lyrics: We live and die like all the rest Every summer has its sunset every year Love and hope put to the test Every grain of comfort holds the seed of fear And I loved you long ago And I love you still But the roads that we have travelled took us far apart Scattered to the four winds Someday we will find the time to heal And I loved you long ago... And the scars that bear my name Are the wounds that never heal But the road that we have travelled took us far apart And I love you still And I loved you long ago...
