Lake Of Silver Bells tab by Carbon Leaf

done mostly from memory.  If you find something that should be fixed, then please leave a comment.

The beginning verse is played with the low E string (which is detailed below the
but I have also included the chords above the lyrics if you'd rather play them.

Float from the balcony

We ride the pine top swells

Down from the old hotel

On the Lake of Silver Bells

Leading is lonely

E|-0 X 16----------------------|

When you're dancing through derisions

So much left for giving in

The year of the living dangerously happy

E
Light flickers by
          G#m
A hundred suns hehind the trees
E
Melts us in a lullaby
    G#m
Our eyelids are like movie screens
    E
And we close our eyes
             G#m
And feel the warmth come into frame
E
We close our eyes
          G#m
Until our dreams become one and the same
E
So much left for giving
       G#m                        F#
In the year of living dangerously happy
                      Riff 1
On the Lake of Silver Bells


E           B           F#
We dance across till we drop
               G#m            E
The bells keep time and never stop
               B        F#
We sleep and we wake
           G#m               E
To muffled chimes out on the lake
            B           F#
We dance across till we drop
               G#m            E
The bells keep time and never stop
               B        F#
We sleep and we wake
                      E
On the Lake of Silver Bells


E
W've reached a secret place
   G#m
To rest and reconcile
E
We close our eyes
         G#m
The only change is no change for a while
      E
We'll buy the old hotel
            G#m
And we will make this place our own
    E
And fill each room with sons and daughters
    G#m        F#
And never be alone

E           B           F#
We dance across till we drop
               G#m            E
The bells keep time and never stop
               B        F#
We sleep and we wake
           G#m               E
To muffled chimes out on the lake
            B           F#
We dance across till we drop
               G#m            E
The bells keep time and never stop
               B        F#
We sleep and we wake

Looking past the love you face
    A
You miss the place you never had
    G
But what you need's not just the dream
    A
But somethings on the other end
G        A        G
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
                     A
You're much too fast asleep


       E        B           F#
And we dance across till we drop
               G#m            E
The bells keep time and never stop
               B        F#
We sleep and we wake
           G#m               E
To muffled chimes out on the lake
            B           F#
We dance across till we drop
               G#m            E
The bells keep time and never stop
               B        F#
We sleep and we wake
