Ok, first tab, be nice :)

I've made this version mainly for playing just with an acoustic guitar, and the voice of course.


       Gm             F               Gm
The faithful crowd is gathered here
               F          Gm
Soon they'll appear
             F                  Gm
The high and mighty show up the king
      F           Gm
Is in doubts
                 F             Gm
"Apart from this beggar here
                    F               Gm
There's no one like you my dear
           F
Tasting my lips
           Gm  Bb  F
No one but you and him"

          Gm   F               Gm
Round the fire everyone should sing
    Gm         C        F
And praise the gracious queen
          Gm   F               Gm
Round the fire everyone should dance
       Gm         F        C
And we praise the handsome knight

  Eb                 F
Forever and ever we both will be one
     Eb                      F
The maiden, the fair and the young
Fell in love

Gm              F
Will you still wait for me?
C              Eb
Will you still cry for me?
Bb       F       Gm
Come and take my hand
Gm              F
Will you still wait for me?
C              Eb
Will you still cry for me?
Bb       F       Gm
Come and take my hand
                 
          Gm        F                 C               Gm
There's a moment in life when all the years will pass by
        Gm               F             C
And the eyes filled with tears we once shed
   Gm        F             C         Gm
We recognize failures, the desperate cries
       Gm       F               Gm
Of the ones who believed in our lies

Gm, F
Bb, F, Gm)

   Gm                   F    
Whenever I'll go you'll be with me
   C
My first though and my last
       Gm              F
Though we'll depart in bitterness
    C
One day you'll understand

      Gm   F
Carry on
  C
Beloved maiden, mine
      Gm   F
Carry on
      C
Or we have to pay the price

Gm             F
Will you still wait for me?
C              Eb
Will you still cry for me?
Bb       F       Gm
Come and take my hand
Gm             F
Will you still wait for me?
C              Eb
Will you still cry for me?
Bb       F       Gm
Come and take my hand


(Gm, F)
Yesterday's memories and melodies
Are gone with the wind, so sad
Snow-white her hands and golden her hair
But she's not the one
Out in the emptiness where everything's pale
There is no sign of you, I'm alone
How I wish you would be here, I'm alone
Telling me it's alright

Eb                        F
Come rest your head
Come rest your head
Come rest your head
Come rest your head

(Gm, F, Gm)

    Gm         F             C
I'm alone and sadness reigns in my heart
    Gm        F             Gm
As long as we live it won't go away
       Gm      F      C    
We are one but torn apart

Gm             F
Will you still wait for me?
C              Eb
Will you still cry for me?
Bb       F       Gm
Come and take my hand
Gm             F
Will you still wait for me?
C              Eb
Will you still cry for me?
Bb       F       Gm
Come and take my hand


Gm          F
Proudly it stands
   C              Gm
Until the world's end
       Gm        F       Gm
The victorious banner of love
