Tabbed by: Mariano Arnaiz on september 2008
Anything to: marianoarnaiz@hotmail.com
Tunning: 1 full step Down (DGCFAd); D tunning if you rather
Played on piano lol, or acoustic guitar with nylon strings LOL

SO, this is an awsome balad, it takes my breath away every time and as a fan of playing
songs on guitar a had to figure this
song out. Theres nothing really weird tab here, the melody of the piano with a little
of the bass, the main bits of the
violin the rest a chords on Nightwish main tunning wich i chose so you woukd have some
bass strings to pick on from time to time.
I wan t to thanks to the guy who originaly figure out the chords that are all around the
and to Crownless for the help on the intro.
I give no credit to the guitar pro guys cause the tabs are on a newer vertion than mine
was not able to check them out for help, lol.

I hpe you enjoy, plz rate a and comment

Verse 1: Am F G F G Am C F G Am

Am                          F
sweet little words make the silence
       G                         F    G
not so young, heartfelt love not heartache
Am                    C
dark hair fall, catch in the wind
                  F          G    Am
light the way the sight of a cold world

Chorus: With chods now lol
Dm          Am                  C
kiss, while your lips are still red
      Gm                   Dm
while he?s still in silent rest
      Am               A#
while bosom is still untouched
  C                 Dm
unveiled on another hair
          Am                     C
while the hand?s still without a tool
           Gm                       Dm
drown into eyes while they?re still blind
Am                         A#                  C
love while the night still hides the withering dawn
