Tabbed by: Mariano Arnaiz on september 2008
Anything to: marianoarnaiz@hotmail.com
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.

[Verse 1]
Am
Sweet little words made for silence, not talk
F                         G
Young heart for love, not heartache
Am               C
Dark hair for catching the wind
                F          G    Am
Not to veil the sight of a cold world


Chorus: This is the intro plus something more that is played fast on the piano

             Am          Em        G         Dm        Am

Am
First day of love never comes back
             F              G
A passionate hour's never a wasted one
Am              C
The violin, the poet’s hand

Every thawing heart plays your theme with care

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
