Walking in the Air Lyrics

Walking in the Air - Nightwish
Time Signature: 4/4
By the way, the harmonies in the end and in the solo might be a little off from the
recording, but they sound fine on their own, so it should work okay.
Chord Progression for Piano Intro:
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Strings Solo:
Electric Guitar (w/dist)
Far across the world
The villages go by like trees
the rivers and the hills
The forest and the streams
Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy
Mountains floating by
Flute/Strings Solo
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
2 bars drums beginning on ??sleep??
Pick up note on beat 4 of the second bar, leads into solo.
Guitar Solo:
Guitar 1: Sounds like there??s a very faint delay setting on it, as every note is
2 beats after it??s played, very quietly.
Harmonized Guitar Solo:
Gtr 1
|Gtr 2 |
|Gtr 2 |
|Gtr 2 |

Bars of synth, then string solo
(Here is the chord structure for the last verse)
(We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you)
Electric Guitar (w/dist) during last verse
(One gtr plays top, one plays bottom)
