SLEEPING SUN
by NIGHTWISH

standard tuning (EADGBE)

^Dmi The sun is sleeping ^C quiet ^Dmi ly
Once upon a ^C centur ^F y
Wistful oceans ^C calm and ^F red
Ardent caresses ^E laid to ^Dmi rest
For my dreams I ^F hold my ^Dmi life
For wishes I beh ^C old my ^A# nights
A truth at the end of ^Gmi time
^A , ^truth , ^at , ^the , ^end , ^of D ^time m
Losing faith makes a ^Dmi crime

I ^Dmi wish for this night-time to ^A# last for a ^F life-time
The ^Gmi darkness ar ^Dmi ound me - shores ^A# of a solar ^F sea ^E
Dmi Oh how I wish to go ^A# down with the ^C sun
^F Sleeping
^C Weeping
^Dmi With you

^Dmi Sorrow has a ^C human ^Dmi heart
From my God it ^C will ^F depart
I`d sail before a <sup>C</sup> thousand <sup>F</sup> moons
Never finding <sup>E</sup> where to <sup>Dmi</sup> go
222 <sup>C</sup> days of <sup>Dmi</sup> light
Will be desired <sup>C</sup> by a <sup>A#</sup> night
A moment for the poet`s ^Gmi play
Until there`s nothing left to ^Dmi say


I ^Dmi wish for this night-time to ^A# last for a ^F life-time
The ^Gmi darkness ^Dmi around me - shores ^A# of a solar ^F sea ^E
Dmi Oh how I wish to go ^A# down with the ^C sun
^F Sleeping
^C Weeping
^Dmi With you
