Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is my first tab, so suggestions for improvement are welcome! I recommend playing the first two C chords in each verse as A chords on the third fret (335553). Also, when moving from the verse to the pre-chorus, I recommend the following transition from C to Am:
C C/Am Am E------0----0----0-----| A------1----1----1-----| D------0----0----2-----| G------2----0----2-----| B------3----2----0-----| E------0----0----0-----|
VERSE:
C I saw the light fade from the sky C On the wind I heard a sigh CAmCAm As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers CFC C/Am Am I will say this last goodbye
PRE-CHORUS:
F Night is now falling CGAm So ends this day F The road is now calling CG and I must away
AmF Over hill and under tree DmAm Through lands where never light has shone C By silver streams F That run down G To the sea
AmF Under cloud, beneath the stars DmAm Over snow and winter's morn C I turn at last F To paths G That lead home
CHORUS:
FAm And though where the road then takes me GDm I cannot tell F We came all this way Am But now comes the day G To bid you farewell
VERSE:
C Many places I have been C Many sorrows I have seen CAm But I don't regret CAm Nor will I forget CFC C/Am Am All who took that road with me
PRE-CHORUS:
F Night is now falling CGAm So ends this day F The road is now calling CG and I must away
AmF Over hill and under tree DmAm Through lands where never light has shone C By silver streams F That run down G To the sea
AmF Through these memories I will hold DmAm With your blessing I will go C To turn at last F To paths G That lead home
CHORUS:
FAm And though where the road then takes me GDm I cannot tell F We came all this way Am But now comes the day G To bid you farewell
