Hello again! I am bringing you yet another Carbon Leaf tab. And yet again, this one
done mostly from memory. If you find something that should be fixed, then please leave a comment.
The beginning verse is played with the low E string (which is detailed below the
but I have also included the chords above the lyrics if you'd rather play them.
[E]Float from the balcony
We [G#m]ride the pine top swells
[E]Down from the old hotel
[G#m]On the Lake of Silver Bells
[E]Leading is lonely
When you're [G#m]dancing through derisions
[E]So much left for giving in
The [G#m]year of the living dangerously [F#]happy
On the Lake of Silver [E]Bells
Riff 1:
[E] [G#m]
[E]Light flickers by
A hundred [G#m]suns hehind the trees
[E]Melts us in a lullaby
Our [G#m]eyelids are like movie screens
And [E]we close our eyes
And feel the [G#m]warmth come into frame
[E]We close our eyes
Until our [G#m]dreams become one and the same
[E]So much left for giving
In the [G#m]year of living dangerously [F#]happy
Riff 1
On the Lake of Silver Bells
[E]We dance acr[B]oss till we [F#]drop
The bells keep [G#m]time and never [E]stop
We sleep and we[B] wake[F#]
To muffled [G#m]chimes out on the [E]lake
We dance acr[B]oss till we [F#]drop
The bells keep [G#m]time and never [E]stop
We sleep and we[B] wake[F#]
On the Lake of Silver [E]Bells
[E]W've reached a secret place
To [G#m]rest and reconcile
[E]We close our eyes
The only [G#m]change is no change for a while
We'll [E]buy the old hotel
And we will [G#m]make this place our own
And [E]fill each room with sons and daughters
And [G#m]never be al[F#]one
[E]We dance acr[B]oss till we [F#]drop
The bells keep [G#m]time and never [E]stop
We sleep and we[B] wake[F#]
To muffled [G#m]chimes out on the [E]lake
We dance acr[B]oss till we [F#]drop
The bells keep [G#m]time and never [E]stop
We sleep and we[B] wake[F#]
On the Lake of Silver [G]Bells
Solo:
[G] [A]
[G] [A]
[G] [A]
[G]Looking past the love you face
You [A]miss the place you never had
But [G]what you need's not just the dream
But [A]somethings on the other end
[G]Wake up. [A]Wake up. [G]Wake up.
You're much too fast [A]asleep
And we [E]dance acr[B]oss till we [F#]drop
The bells keep [G#m]time and never [E]stop
We sleep and we[B] wake[F#]
To muffled [G#m]chimes out on the [E]lake
We dance acr[B]oss till we [F#]drop
The bells keep [G#m]time and never [E]stop
We sleep and we[B] wake[F#]
