The Day Sonata Arctica
THE DAY - Sonata Arctica
Acoustic version by sinForge xJp
Standard Tuning (EADGBe), Capo 1
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* |

(Key change - C major, relative to the capo)
[G]Sea full of diamonds, good morning new day
[G]I'll fix us breakfast, and the newspaper says
The [C]company will lay off 5,000 souls to[G]day
"I [G]wish I was a child with no worries back then", I say
"[G]Kiss me and smile...", you reply, in your way
You [C]wake up the children for school... for the last [G]time
For [C]suddenly our beautiful life blurs away
And the [G]world breaks into pieces
C.. C.. C.. C..
G.. G.. D/F#.. Em*
'Cause [G]today the [D/F#]sea came [Bm]in
D Em*
The wave came and stole my loved ones
G D/F# Bm Em*
I write these lines alone on the rooftop of my home
G D/F# Bm D Em*
I'm adrift on the vast oceans, can you feel me?
I will [G]not see [D/F#]you a[Bm]gain, even [D]if I live through
The [Em]day when the sea came...
[(Em)]Day when the sea came...
[(Em)]Day when the sea came in...
Em... Em... D... Em...
[Em]I trace the scenes our children once played
[Em]Names carved in wood, all the words, bound to fade
I be[D]lieve, my love, your memory and dreams
Deserve to live again to[Em]morrow...
(My [C]love...) We built this world together, we lived in here to[G]gether,
And shared the fun together, bore the sorrows, all to[C]gether
(My friend...)
We'll win the fight together, we'll lose the game to[G]gether
Greet the heroes all together, and forever, we'll re[C]member
(My world...)
We built this world together, we lived in here to[G]gether
And shared the fun together, bore the sorrows, all to[C]gether
And as long as we're together, in spirit, yet to[G]gether,
You're the air that I am kissing, you will always be [C]there.[G]..
I can feel you in the [C]wind.[G]..
I can feel you in the [C]wind.[G]..
C... G... C...
