Chords
Transcribed for standard tuning which probably gives more playable chords for the parts
where the guitar is absent or not the main instrument. Tune down a whole step and transpose +2
to play as Nightwish's guitarist does though you'll have to adjust the intro melody as well
of course. Basically just play power chords according to position - B5, A5, D5, low E5
on Bridge 2, etc.
For Bridge 2 either play the strumming pattern with palm muted power/reduced chords
D5 x577xx , Bb/D x587xx , C5 x355xx or play voicings to mimic the orchestration Dm xx0765 , Bb/D xx0766 , Bb xx8766 , C xx10-988 F E at the end can be played with low single notes.

Am Fadd#11 We see a mother with no child Am Gsus4 G We meet a stranger poor, exiled Dm Am Fmaj7/A How's the heart while it still beats?

Em The answer's in the
