   Bm           Bsus2      B            Bm
An old man by a seashore At the end of day
A         G             A               Bm
Gazes the horizon With seawinds in his face
Bm             Bsus2     B            Bm
Tempest-tossed island Seasons all the same
A             G            A              Bm
Anchorage unpainted And a ship without a name


Bm              Bsus2       B              Bm
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
A              G       A                      Bm
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Bm              Bsus2       B
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
A                 G       A              Bm
The ones on their travels homeward from afar

   G  D   A   Bm       G               D          Em
Ho-ri-zon cry-ing  the tears he left behind long ago

Bm               Bsus2  B             Bm
The albatross is flying Making him daydream
A               G             A               Bm
The time before he became One of the world's unseen
Bm              Bsus2  B               Bm
Princess in the tower, Children in the fields
A                G       A                Bm
Life gave him it all: An island of the universe



Bm               Bsus2    B            Bm
Now his love's a memory A ghost in the fog
A                     G                A               Bm
He sets the sails one last time Saying farewell to the world
Bm            Bsus2 B          Bm
Anchor to the water Seabed far below
A              G              A                 Bm
Grass still in his feet And a smile beneath his brow

Unveiling of me, the magician that never failed

This deep sigh coiled around my chest

Intoxicated by a major chord
I wonder

Em                             D 
They came for him one winter's night. 
Em                    D 
Arrested, he was bound. 
Em                          	 D 
They said there'd been a robbery, 
C	   D	    Em 
his pistol had been found.  
 

Em		      G 
They marched him to the station house, 
Em	         D 
he waited for the dawn. 
Em	                       G 
And as they led him to the dock, 
D			Em 
he knew that he'd been wronged. 
C	D         Em            D
"You stand accused of robbery," 
G            D          Em      D 
he heard the bailiff say. 
C         D        Em        D 
He knew without an alibi, 
G                  D                 Bm             D 
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom --  
 
 
Em        G	            D	     Em 
Over the hills and far away, 
    D	 G	 C	 D 
for ten long years he'll count the days. 
Em        G	             D	         Em 
Over the mountains and the seas, 
   D	 G        C               D 
a prisoner's life for him there'll be.  
 
Em		G 
He knew that it would cost him dear, 
Em	            D 
but yet he dare not say. 
Em		      G 
Just where he'd been that fateful night, 
D	        Em 
a secret it must stay. 
C	D         Em            D
He had to fight back tears of rage. 
G            D          Em      D 
His heart beat like a drum. 
C           D          Em              D 
For with the wife of his best friend, 
G              D               Bm          D 
he spent his final night of freedom --  

 
Em        G	            D	     Em 
Over the hills and far away, 
    D	 G	 C	 D 
for ten long years he'll count the days. 
Em           G	     D	    Em 
Far from the mountains and the seas, 
   D	 G        C               D 
a prisoner's life for him there'll be.  
Em        G	            D	     Em D 
Over the hills and far away, 
Em 
Over the hills and, 
 
over the hills and, 
D 
over the hills and far away.  
 
 
Solo 
 
C	D         Em            D
Each night within his prison cell, 
G            D          Em      D 
he looks out through the bars. 
C         D        Em        D 
He reads the letters that she wrote. 
G                  D                 Bm             D 
One day he'll know the taste of freedom --  
 

Em        G	          D	     Em 
Over the hills and far away, 
      D	   G        C          D 
she prays he will return one day. 
Em	        G     D             Em 
As sure as the rivers reach the seas, 
        D	 G      C              D 
back in his arms again she'll be.

A child holding on to the magic of birth and awe

     Em            
Just you and me far beyond the sea

Quivering still

Turn Loose The Mermaids

Nemo was the first single by the Finnish symphonic power metal quintet Nightwish, from the album Once. The London Philharmonic Orchestra participated on the single. Once topped the album charts in Finland, Germany, Norway, Greece, Slovenia and Hungary. Widely successful, the single was certified gold in Finland on the day of its release. In the UK it could only chart at #87 after a chart entry of #101 the week before, but spent over 20 weeks on the top 200 plus a few re-entries.

&quot;The Islander&quot; is the tenth track on symphonic power metal quintet Nightwish

into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am

A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C

        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am

         Dm

    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me

And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm

Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me

A                                 C#m            B
This heart attack I’ve gotta get away not coming back
A                                 C#m                     B
I want some downtime so call me when you can and I’ll be fine


VERSE 2: [same chords as VERSE1]
I’ve found the time to be alone I don’t know what you’re asking
I’m waiting by the telephone and you’re still barking
My heart stops it isn’t… going could you revive me
I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me


PRE-CHORUS 2:  [same chords as PRE-CHORUS1]
‘Cause in the same space we’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not attracted
But in your own life over reacted and in your own time


{CHORUS x2}


Sometimes if we don’t go sometimes you don’t know
You don’t go I don’t go I don’t go you don’t go

C#5  B5  A5                      C#5  A5  B5

C#5  E5  A5                    C#5  A5  B5
            This heart attack              then I’m feeling fine


CHORUS x2

C#m          E       B    A 
I’m going away to be alone

I'm going away to be alone ...............

Why Cry

A                                     E 
Roll into your town and I'm walking around
                                                Fm                        
Got some extra time think I'll throw some money down
                                                     D
And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

Up Here

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A

       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no

Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change

[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A

    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame

And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say

Son, I missed my chance

Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say

May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
