Tunning: 1 full step Down (DGCFAd); D tunning if you rather
Played on piano lol, or acoustic guitar with nylon strings LOL
SO, this is an awsome balad, it takes my breath away every time and as a fan of playing
songs on guitar a had to figure this
song out. Theres nothing really weird tab here, the melody of the piano with a little
of the bass, the main bits of the
violin the rest a chords on Nightwish main tunning wich i chose so you woukd have some
bass strings to pick on from time to time.
I wan t to thanks to the guy who originaly figure out the chords that are all around the
and to Crownless for the help on the intro.
I give no credit to the guitar pro guys cause the tabs are on a newer vertion than mine
was not able to check them out for help, lol.

[Chorus]
Dm Am C
Kiss, while your lips are still red
Gm Dm
While he’s still in silent rest
Am A#
While bosom is still untouched
C Dm
Unveiled, hold another hand
Am C
While the hand’s still without a tool
Gm Dm
Drown into eyes while they’re still blind
Am A# C
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
