Tuning:Standard
Not sure on the last 3 chords in the chorus,
any help figuring them out would be cool
I know the D's right, not sure about C and Ab
VERSE 1
********
G D C
In that moment, there was peace
G D C
No one walked alone, on the streets
G D C
A migration, of dancing lined
Em C D
Gathering returning home from the night
--------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
G Em C
It came falling down
G Em C D
Following the angels down
F Bb
Falling down
C Ab D
Following the angels down
--------------------------------------------------
VERSE 2
********
G D C
As the sun went down, over the bridge
G D C
And the music and dance reached it's pitch
G D C
Satelites they join the world in the games
Em C D
Hope was born again to live in the flames
--------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
--------------------------------------------------
VERSE 3
********
G D C
If I never live to see another day
G D C
I wish that it could always be just that way
G D C
Like a symphony of dancing light
Em C D
Vanishing the worlds woes into the night
