Hey Guys it's my first Tab so if you have the time, please give me a feedback or a correction :)
This song is a great, epic, and beautiful song I think. Ronnie James Dio wrote it in 1979 when he
became singer of Black Sabbath
I hope you enjoy to Play real music and not this modern macbook-dupstep-crap ;)
Greetings from Switzerland

A* H*/C* H*/C* A* G* D* 2x
A* H*/C* H*/C* A* G* D* We sailed across the air before we learned to fly. A* H*/C* H*/C* A* G* D* We thought that it could never end A* H*/C* H*/C* A* G* D* We'd glide above the ground before we learned to run, run. A* H*/C* H*/C* A* G* D* Now it seems our world has come undone C* G* A* H*/C* H*/C* G* A* H*/C* H*/C* Oh they say that it's over, And it just had to be C* G* A* H*/C* H*/C* G* C* H* D* A* H*/C* H*/C* A* G* D* Ooh they say that it's over, We're lost children of the sea, oh A* H*/C* H*/C* A* G* D* We made the mountains shake with laughter as we played. A* H*/C* H*/C* A* G* D* Hiding in our corner of the world A* H*/C* H*/C* A* G* D* Then we did the demon dance and rushed to nevermore. A* H*/C* H*/C* A* G* D* Threw away the key and locked the door C* G* A* H*/C* H*/C* C* G* A* H*/C* H*/C* Oh they say that it's over, Yeah. And it just had to be C* G* A* H*/C* H*/C* C* G* C* H* D* Yes, they say that it's over, We're lost children of the sea, oh
