Sky Is Over Tab

by Serj Tankian


So, I've learned how to play this song on piano and next I started to
experiment with classical guitar sounds (standard tuning). 
Finally I've made this...I hope it's correct.
This is my own (and first) cover, so some chords may be false. 
I hope, you'll like it, enjoy!

[Verse1]:

                           (ver1)	
  Everybody knows, everybody knows
         (ver2)   
  That you cradle the sun, sun
                (ver1)
  Living in remorse,
       (ver2)
  Sky is over

                  
  Don't you want to hold me baby?

  Disappointed...   going   crazy...

[Chorus]:

  
  Even though we can't afford
           
  The sky is over
  
  Even though we can't afford
           
  The sky is over
  
  I don’t want to see you go
           
  The sky is over
  
  Even though we can't afford
           
  The sky is over

[Verse2]:


  Behind closes eyes lie
  The minds ready to awaken you,
(ver1)
  Are you at war with land
               (ver2)
  And all of its creatures,

  Your not-so-gentle persuasion
  Has been known to wreck economies
     (ver1)                        (ver2)
  Of countries, of empires, the sky is over,

                  
  Don't you want to hold me baby?

  Bb            E|--6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5--|      
  Disappointed...   going   crazy...

[Piano section]:
[this is a fast piano solo difficult to play on guitar, so just use chords: Cm, Fm(ver1)]

                  
  Not even from the sun,
                  
  Not even from the sun,
                  
  Not even from the sun,

  Bb                   E|--6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5--|
  Don’t you want me to     run?

[Chorus]:

E|--6-5-6---6-5-6----|
B|--------8-------8--|
G|-------------------|
  Even though we can't afford
         
  The sky is over
  
  Even though we can't afford
           
  The sky is over
  
  I don’t want to see you go
           
  The sky is over
  
  Even though we can't afford
           
  The sky is over
  
  I don’t want to see you go
           
  The sky is over
  
  Even though we can't afford
           
  The sky is over
  
  I don’t want to see you go
           
  The sky is over
  
  Even though we can't afford
           
  The sky is over
              
  Sky is over us.
