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
 
 
   Gm               D#
No sign of life did flicker
 
   Gm                    Cm
In floods of tears she cried
 
 D#                    D
"All hope's lost it can't be undone
 
D#                  D
They're wasted and gone"
 
 Gm
"Save me your speeches
 
  D#                    Gm
I know (They blinded us all)
 
What you want
 
          F
You will take it away from me
 
Gm                     D#
Take it and I know for sure
 
     Gm
The light she once brought in
 
    F           Gm
Is gone forevermore"
 
 
     Gm                      D#
Like sorrowful seaguls they sang
 
                     Gm
"(We're) lost in the deep shades
 
                 Cm
The misty cloud brought
 
(A wailing when beauty was gone
Come take a look at the sky)
 
Gm                       D#
Monstrous it covered the shore
 
Gm                  F
Fearful into the unknown"
 
 
Am
Quietly it crept in new horror
C          G
Insanity reigned
Am
It spilled the first blood
 
C                      G
When the old king was slain
 
 
Am   F
Nightfall
 
C                       Dm        E
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
 
Am   F
Nightfall
 
C                       Dm        E
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
 
Am   F
Nightfall
 
  C       F         C      G   Am
Immortal land lies down in agony
 
 
     Am
"How long shall we
 
C            G
Mourn in the dark
 
    Am              C
the bliss and the beauty
 
     G
Will not return
 
     Am          C            G
Say farewell to sadness and grief
 
       Am        C        G
Though long and hard the road 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.
 
     Bb
The words of a banished king
 
G#  D#      Bb
"I swear revenge"
 
             G#     D#         Bb
Filled with anger aflamed our hearts
 
        G#    D#      Bb
Full of hate full of pride
 
      G#          D#
We screamed for revenge
 
 
chorus
 
 
 Am
"Vala he is that's what you said
 
           C                   G
Then your oath's been sworn in vain
 
(But) freely you came and
You freely shall depart
 
    Am
(So) never trust the northern winds
 
C               G
Never turn your back on friends"
 
 
         Am          C
"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!"
 
      Am
"You better don't trust him"
 
    C        G
The enemy of mine
 
      E           Am
Isn't he of your kind and
 
C   G            Dm    Am      G   F G
Finally you may follow me
 
Am                  C   G   F G
Farewell he said
 
 
chorus
 
 
Am                   F
Back to where it all began
Am                   E7
Back to where it all began
 
 
Outro:
 
F   E   F   E
 
Am  F   Am  E7
