Have fun playing this incredible song. The live version on One Cold Winter's Night is a
different, but it isn't hard to figure out if you know the studio version. I hope my
for the verses isn't too confusing, but it was a bit difficult to tab, because you
have to listen to the lyrics to get the timing right. Anyway, enjoy, and don't forget to
Kamelot live in their Ghost Opera 2007 tour!

HEY DUDE, I TRIED IT YOUR WAY, AND IT DIDNT GET ME ANY WHERE. STILL I THING MY INTRO WORK BETTER, YOUR BRIDGE IS A LITTLE MORE ACURATE HERE AND THERE BUT IN THE END WE BOTH HAVE SHIT IN THAT PART. THE REST IS THE SAME JUST PUT TOGETHER A LITTLE DIFERENT. MAYBE IF WE COMBINE BOTH TABS WE COULD GET SOMETHING GOOD
