Tunning: 1 full step Down (DGCFAd); D MajorD tunning if you rather
Played on piano lol, or acoustic guitar with nylon strings LOL

SO, this is an awsome balad, it takes my breath away every time and as a fan of playing
songs on guitar a had to figure this
song out. Theres nothing really weird tab here, the melody of the piano with a little
of the bass, the main bits of the
violin the rest a chords on Nightwish main tunning wich i chose so you woukd have some
bass strings to pick on from time to time.
I wan t to thanks to the guy who originaly figure out the chords that are all around the
and to Crownless for the help on the intro.
I give no credit to the guitar pro guys cause the tabs are on a newer vertion than mine
was not able to check them out for help, lol.

I hpe you enjoy, plz rate a and comment

Intro: Kind of the lead piano left hand with a bit of the backing piano right hand
