The Day Lyrics

THE DAY - Sonata Arctica
Acoustic version by sinForge xJp
This is NOT based on an acoustic performance/recording!!
*The way the guitar sounds in this song, I'll assume |
Elias was using a 7-string (tuned a half step down) |
the way he usually does, but I tabbed the chords for |
a 6-string in standard tuning like I usually do!!! |
The capo puts the bulk of the song in the correct |
key. It makes the intro a hassel, but it's doable* |
When (Em*) shows up in
the chorus play this:
Intro (C minor, relative to the capo):
(Key change - C major, relative to the capo)
Sea full of diamonds, good morning new day
I'll fix us breakfast, and the newspaper says
The company will lay off 5,000 souls today
"I wish I was a child with no worries back then", I say
"Kiss me and smile...", you reply, in your way
You wake up the children for school... for the last time
For suddenly our beautiful life blurs away
And the world breaks into pieces
G.. G.. D/F#.. Em*
'Cause today the sea came in
The wave came and stole my loved ones
I write these lines alone on the rooftop of my home
I'm adrift on the vast oceans, can you feel me?
I will not see you again, even if I live through
The day when the sea came...
Day when the sea came...
Day when the sea came in...
I trace the scenes our children once played
Names carved in wood, all the words, bound to fade
I believe, my love, your memory and dreams
Deserve to live again tomorrow...
(My love...) We built this world together, we lived in here together,
And shared the fun together, bore the sorrows, all together
(My friend...)
We'll win the fight together, we'll lose the game together
Greet the heroes all together, and forever, we'll remember
(My world...)
We built this world together, we lived in here together
And shared the fun together, bore the sorrows, all together
And as long as we're together, in spirit, yet together,
You're the air that I am kissing, you will always be there...
I can feel you in the wind...
I can feel you in the wind...
