Song: Nightfall (Acoustic) Artist: Blind Guardian Album: Nightfall in Middle-Earth Year: 1998 Tabbed by: andback@gmail.com In my opinion one of the best Blind Guardian songs ever, and one of the few that actually sounds good with chords on an acoustic guitar. Here's how I play it... Enjoy! Intro: Gm D# Gm Cm D# D D# D

No ^Gmsign of life did ^D#flicker In ^Gmfloods of tears she cr^Cmied

&^D#quot;All hope's lost i^Dt can't be undone ^D#They're wasted and g^Done"

&^Gmquot;Save me your speeches I ^D#know (They blinded us ^Gmall)

What you want

You will t^Fake it away from me ^GmTake it and I know for ^D#sure

The l^Gmight she once brought in Is g^Fone foreverm^Gmore"

Like ^Gmsorrowful seaguls they s^D#ang "(We're) lost in^Gm the deep shades

The misty cloud b^Cmrought (A wailing when beauty was gone Come take a look at the sky)

^GmMonstrous it covered the ^D#shore ^GmFearful into the unk^Fnown"

^AmQuietly it crept in new horror ^CInsanity re^Gigned ^AmIt spilled the first blood

^CWhen the old king was s^Glain

^AmNight^Ffall ^CQuietly it crept in and ^Dmchanged us^E all

^AmNight^Ffall Im^Cmortal l^Fand lies d^Cown in ^Gagon^Amy

"^Am;How long shall we ^CMourn in the ^Gdark

the ^Ambliss and the be^Cauty Will ^Gnot return

Say f^Amarewell to s^Cadness and gr^Gief Though ^Amlong and h^Card the r^Goad may be"

But even in silence I heard the words | This part doesn't really have "An oath we shall swear | any chords it's basically just By the name of the one | the lead guitar over the singing Until the world's end | but if you anyone figures anything It can't be broken" | out be sure to let me know :) Just wondering how | By the way if you want the lead I can still hear these voices inside | check out the mighty 5-star tab The doom of the Noldor drew near | for Nightfall here on UG.

The w^Bbords of a banished king ^G#&quo^D#t;I swea^Bbr revenge"

Filled with a^G#nger af^D#lamed our h^Bbearts Full of ^G#hate f^D#ull of p^Bbride

We scr^G#eamed for re^D#venge

chorus

&^Amquot;Vala he is that's what you said Then your o^Cath's been sworn in ^Gvain

(But) freely you came and You freely shall depart

(So)^Am never trust the northern winds ^CNever turn your ^Gback on friends"

"Oh ^AmI'm heir of ^Cthe high lord!" "^AmYou better don't trust him"

The ^Cenemy of ^Gmine Isn't ^Ehe of your k^Amind and

^CFina^Glly you may f^Dmollow ^Amme ^G ^F ^G ^AmFarewell he said ^C ^G ^F ^G

chorus

^AmBack to where it all ^Fbegan ^AmBack to where it all ^E7began
