DON'T BE MEAN - Sonata Arctica
Acoustic version by sinForge xJp
Standard Tuning, Capo 4
This is NOT based on an acoustic performance/recording!!

=============================================================
Sonata always uses 1/2 down tuning, whether they're playing |
with a 7-string or 6-string.  However, I chose to tab this  |
in Standard because once they guitar actually comes in, it  |
sounds like a capo is being used anyway (by audible hints   |
are the D chords) so if it's in Eb tuning with a capo on 5, |
what I've done here is essentially the same.   ~Enjoy!!     |
                                                            |
**Em7 = 020000, NOT 022030                                  |

     Em  Em7         C   G
I am lost... with no key...
      Am               G            C       Dsus4 D
And I worry there's no easy way out of this place...
        Em  Em7        C     G
I'm the pain... that I cause...
       Am              G          C
Must I let out all the evil to be healed?


      C             D
To be healed- is it really what I want?
         Em      Em7     A
Don't be mean now... you know how I feel
       C              Dsus4      D
Give relief, don't be mean to me...
                  Em  Em7  A
Just leave me the key...


         Em  Em7         C    G
For this once... it's my turn...
          Am                    C
To be the strong one, you're in pain,
         Dsus4      D
I try to leave with grace...
    Em   Em7       C    G
Say hello... to my tear...
       Am          G           C
I have only one, I kept it safe... for this moment


      C               D
To be healed- is that really what we want?
         Em  Em7      A
Don't be mean... it's not what we need now
       C              Dsus4      D
Give relief, don't be mean to me...
                   Em   Em7
That's not what we need...
A             C            Dsus4      D
...Believe in me, don't be mean to me...
       Em
Just leave me the key
