DON'T SAY A WORD- Sonata Arctica Acoustic version by sinForge xJp Standard tuning, Capo 2, 3 & 4 *I've been wanting to do this song ever since I did "The End Of This Chapter," but it was more complex than I ever imagined! There's only one capo change durring the singing, and only a couple others durring the solo sections, so it shouldn't be too hard. Please forgive any minor misplaced chords over words- this song is a MONSTER with lyrical rhythm >.< Enjoy!! CAPO 2 Em... Bm... Am... Em... Bm... Am...
