CALEB- Sonata Arctica
Acoustic version by sinForge xJp
Standard tuning, Capo 2, 4, 5 & 6 (Changes where indicated)
*I know.. 4 capo positions is a bit much, and I DID try to at least avoid the
switch to 5 in the middle.. Unfortunately, there wasn't a good-sounding way
around it.. But honestly, none of the moves are really that much hassle =)
Also, in the actual song, the guitar is pretty stationairy in the verses, and
all the tonality is in the keyboards.. so I considered the tonality when
doing the verse.. I've also MAPPED OUT the chords for a change =D Enjoy!!

Dadd11
His mother came up with such a clever way to save the day with a little white lie
Dadd11
He thinks he missed the point back then, but now he's grown to understand it, in a way
* Dadd11*
Father said "I'm sorry" only once, as I remember
* Dadd11*
The words were not meant to hurt, only destroy you, my stupid son
Dadd11
One person can make a difference, sometimes
Dadd11
Just turn his head when the kid is still and has a weak neck
[NC]
Smiled at his funeral, "happy you're dead."
Dadd11
All his solutions, it seemed, were only problems in disguise
Dadd11
Glueing on his drinkin' face, got ready to erase another day
CAPO 2
Mother was yet confident, although they had it tight, taught her son
At the end of every tunnel's a little light
It wasn't a lie, it was her hope, that everything would be fine one day
He can fulfill his every dream, I'm happy as long as he's not
..I hate it and fear can't face it
The child is not right, he's my greatest shame
Go out, create thunder, and stand right under
F G A [CHANGE CAPO to 5 NOW]
That old apple tree where dead snakes let him feed on those
Lost hopes, all those kind words could hurt him even more, now
Somehow, lost one more way back home
CAPO 4
Dadd11
Out on the lake, he rows towards a monster he should've been running away from, years ago
Dadd11
The past had made him blind to the way he'd turned the pain into a way of life
CAPO 2
Followed his father, tucked him in, Caleb knows the trade
He's the portrait of a man his mother drew to hate forever
She was a beast, a deadly saint, wrong in many ways
C Dm E [CHANGE CAPO to 4 NOW]
Wanted to keep up the charade, until the end waltzing together
(TIME CHANGE 6/8)

Over the hills, under the sea, fighting the will, whole Universe
Why does a man driving a hearse live in fear, Gift and a Curse
Taking 'em out, taking 'em all, shooting the wall, over and out
When nothing moves, all's well, a decision he can find a way to live with
...And dried up flowers are so beautiful
And it applies to all things living, and dead
For that I serve my time... in my suite in Hell

CAPO 6
Now I ring the bell to tell the world
I'm ready when they bring out the soon to be dead against the wall
Oooh.. This necessary evil has no heart
Flowers and people he will now enlace
A price he must pay serving a cold ..whateverGod
