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!!

Out on the lake, he rows towards a monster he should've been running away from, years ago
