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.

Dm [INTRO]           (Dsus4)            (Dsus4)                   (Dsus4)        (Dsus4)
In the misty morning, on the edge of time. We've lost the rising sun, a final sign

                (Dsus4)             (Dsus4)                                    Dmaj
As the misty morning rolls away to die. Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky
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

In the misty morning, on the edge of time. We've lost the rising sun, a final sign

                (Dsus4)             (Dsus4)                                    Dmaj
As the misty morning rolls away to die. Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky

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,            Poor lost children of the sea, oh

A*         H*/C* H*/C*     C*                 G* D* A*
LOOK OUT!                  The sky is falling down!

A*         H*/C* H*/C*     C*                      G*        D*       A*
LOOK OUT!                  The world is spinning round and round and round!

A*         H*/C* H*/C*     C*                 G*    D*   A*
LOOK OUT!                  The sun is going black, black

A*         H*/C* H*/C*     C*                G*    D*     A*
LOOK OUT!                  It's never never never coming back, LOOK OUT!
