Caleb Sonata Arctica
Acoustic version by sinForge xJp
Standard tuning, Capo 2, 4, 5 & 6 (Changes where indicated)
*I know.. 4 capo positions is a bit much, and I DID try to at least avoid the
switch to 5 in the middle.. Unfortunately, there wasn't a good-sounding way
around it.. But honestly, none of the moves are really that much hassle =)
Also, in the actual song, the guitar is pretty stationairy in the verses, and
all the tonality is in the keyboards.. so I considered the tonality when
doing the verse.. I've also MAPPED OUT the chords for a change =D Enjoy!!

There is a man in this world, who has never smiled
You may know his tragedy, the later years, by heart

Am.. Bsus4.. C... Dadd11
His [Em]mother came up [Bsus4]with such a [C]clever way to [Dadd11]save the day with a [Asus2]little white lie
He [Em]thinks he missed the [Bsus4]point back then, but [C]now he's grown to [Dadd11]understand it, [Asus2]in a way
Em Bm C* Dadd11*
Father said "I'm sorry" only once, as I remember
Em Bm C* Dadd11*
The words were not meant to hurt, only destroy you, my stupid son
One [Am]person can [Bsus4]make a [C]difference, [Dadd11]sometimes
Just [Am]turn his head when the [Bsus4]kid is still and [C]has a [Dadd11]weak neck
(NC)
Smiled at his funeral, "happy you're dead."
[Em]All his so[Bsus4]lutions, it seemed,[C] were only [Dadd11]problems in dis[Asus2]guise
[Em]Glueing on his [Bsus4]drinkin' face,[C] got ready [Dadd11]to erase a[Asus2]nother day
CAPO 2
[Am]Mother was yet [F]confident, al[Am]though they had it [F]tight, taught her [C]son
At the [Dm]end of every [E]tunnel's a little light
It wasn't a [Am]lie, it was her [F]hope, that every[Am]thing would be f[F]ine one day
[C]He can fulfill his [Dm]every dream, I'm [E]happy as long as he's not
[F]..I [G]hate it and [A]fear can't [E]face it
The [F]child is not [G]right, he's my [A]greatest [E]shame
Go [F]out, create [G]thunder, and [A]stand right [E]under
F G A (CHANGE CAPO to 5 NOW)
That old apple tree where dead snakes let him feed on those
[Am]Lost hopes, [F]all those [G]kind words could [C]hurt him [C/B]even [Am]more, now
[F]Somehow, [G]lost one more [C]way back [C/B]home
CAPO 4
Out [Em]on the lake, he [Bsus4]rows towards a [C]monster he should've been [Dadd11]running away from, [Asus2]years ago
The [Em]past had made him [Bsus4]blind to the [C]way he'd turned the [Dadd11]pain into a [Asus2]way of life
CAPO 2
[Am]Followed his [F]father, tucked him [Am]in, Caleb [F]knows the trade
[C]He's the [Dm]portrait of a [E]man his mother drew to hate for[Am]ever
She was a [F]beast, a deadly [Am]saint, wrong in [F]many ways
C Dm E (CHANGE CAPO to 4 NOW)
Wanted to keep up the charade, until the end waltzing together
(TIME CHANGE 6/8)

[Em]Over the hills, under the sea, [C]fighting the will, whole Universe
[G]Why does a man [Am]driving a hearse [B]live in fear, Gift and a Curse
[F#m]Taking 'em out, taking 'em all, [D]shooting the wall, over and out
[A]When nothing moves, [Bm]all's well, a de[C#]cision he can find a way to [F#m]live with
...And dried up [D]flowers are so beautiful
And [A]it applies to [Bm]all things [C#]living, and dead
For that I serve [Em]my [Bm]time..[C]. in my [D]suite in [Em]Hell[Bm] [C] [D] [A]

Now [Em]I ring the [Bm]bell to [C]tell the [D]world
I'm [Em]ready when they [Bm]bring out the [C]soon to be [D]dead against the [Em]wall
[Bm]Oooh.[C]. This [G]nece[Am]ssary [B]evil has no [Em]hea[Bm]rt[C] [G] [Am] [B]
