In my opinion one of the best Blind Guardian songs ever, and one
of the few that actually sounds good with chords on an acoustic
guitar. Here's how I play it...
Enjoy!
Intro: Gm D# Gm Cm
[D#] [D] [D#] [D]
No [Gm]sign of life did [D#]flicker
In [Gm]floods of tears she cr[Cm]ied
"[D#]All hope's lost it can[D]'t be undone
[D#]They're wasted and g[D]one"
"[Gm]Save me your speeches
I [D#]know (They blinded us [Gm]all)
What you want
You will t[F]ake it away from me
[Gm]Take it and I know for [D#]sure
The l[Gm]ight she once brought in
Is g[F]one foreverm[Gm]ore"
Like [Gm]sorrowful seaguls they s[D#]ang
"(We're) lost in the [Gm]deep shades
The misty cloud b[Cm]rought
(A wailing when beauty was gone
Come take a look at the sky)
[Gm]Monstrous it covered the [D#]shore
[Gm]Fearful into the unk[F]nown"
[Am]Quietly it crept in new horror
[C]Insanity re[G]igned
[Am]It spilled the first blood
[C]When the old king was s[G]lain
[Am]Night[F]fall
[C]Quietly it crept in and [Dm]changed us[E] all
[Am]Night[F]fall
[C]Quietly it crept in and [Dm]changed us[E] all
[Am]Night[F]fall
Im[C]mortal l[F]and lies d[C]own in [G]agon[Am]y
"How [Am]long shall we
[C]Mourn in the [G]dark
the [Am]bliss and the be[C]auty
Will [G]not return
Say f[Am]arewell to s[C]adness and gr[G]ief
Though [Am]long and h[C]ard the r[G]oad may be"
But even in silence I heard the words | This part doesn't really have
"An oath we shall swear | any chords it's basically just
By the name of the one | the lead guitar over the singing
Until the world's end | but if you anyone figures anything
It can't be broken" | out be sure to let me know :)
Just wondering how | By the way if you want the lead
I can still hear these voices inside | check out the mighty 5-star tab
The doom of the Noldor drew near | for Nightfall here on UG.
The w[Bb]ords of a banished king
[G#]"I s[D#]wear rev[Bb]enge"
Filled with a[G#]nger af[D#]lamed our h[Bb]earts
Full of [G#]hate f[D#]ull of p[Bb]ride
We scr[G#]eamed for re[D#]venge
chorus
"[Am]Vala he is that's what you said
Then your o[C]ath's been sworn in [G]vain
(But) freely you came and
You freely shall depart
(So)[Am] never trust the northern winds
[C]Never turn your [G]back on friends"
"Oh I'm h[Am]eir of the h[C]igh lord!"
"You b[Am]etter don't trust him"
The [C]enemy of [G]mine
Isn't [E]he of your k[Am]ind and
[C]Fina[G]lly you may f[Dm]ollow [Am]me[G] [F] [G]
[Am]Farewell he said[C] [G] [F] [G]
chorus
[Am]Back to where it all [F]began
[Am]Back to where it all [E7]began
Outro:
[F] [E] [F] [E]
[Am] [F] [Am] [E7]
[F] [E] [F] [E] [Am]
