WHITE PEARL, BLACK OCEANS - Sonata Arctica
Standard Tuning (EADGBe), Capo 2
[INTRO]
N.C.
I was born and
Bm F#m
Raised by the sea; shy yet proud
D A G
learned to stay away from the crowd
A D F#m
In my home, my lighthouse
Bm F#m
101 steps, round and down
D A G
New Years Eve, one night on the town
A D F#m Bm
Can change one life into eternity
[MAIN THEME]
Bm F#m D A G A D F#m
Bm F#m D A G A D F#m
[VERSE]
Bm D
All I could see, her eyes
Bm D
We got caught in the moment all of the night
Em G
Taken beyond all lines
Em G A
In silence, leaving them all behind
Bm D
She had found the sails for the following night
Bm D
The town, for her, was getting way too small
Em G
She promised to be mine
Em Asus4 A
Forever, for that one night
G
Moments, passion, small defeats
Bm
Concealed emotions found in me
G Em D A
"You gave life to a brand new me"
Bm D
Crossing the wintry fields
Bm D
The first hour of morning light
Em G
Warmed by the flame inside
Em G A
The lasting memory of the ending night
Bm D
I never had a chance to stop what hit me
Bm D
What broke my bones and mauled me
Em G
After hours of deep unwilling sleep
Em G A
In a cold shelter, fell back in the dark
A
And the hours of the day passed
[CHORUS]
Am Em
A nightmare awakes me, blinking light
C G F
There's no guide, blind ships in the night
G C Em G
Oh, blood red moon, eat away the night
Bm
Darkness covers my lonely soul
Em
No one to feed the dying light
[BRIDGE CHORDS]
Em Am G D
Em Am G D
Em Am G D
Em Am G D
[VERSE]
Em G
Good morn', oh dreadful day
Em G Am
I prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of me
C
For the sails of night
Am C D
Please tell me everything is alright
Em G
My voice in the room broke the silence
Em G
Everybody killed me with their eyes
Am C
What I was to hear made the people cry
Am C D
Impossible for me to keep the tears inside
[CHORUS]
Am Em
"All on the board the White Pearl have died!
C G F
Coastal reef has tolled their lives
G C Em Am
And you are the light of the night!"
[VERSE]
G Em
One thing I remember
G
Before I fell on the ground
Am C Am
Although I never saw the face
C D
A name was inked in his arm
Em G
Love can be like poetry of demons,
Em G
Or maybe God loves complex irony?
Am C Am
The family name stated I had seen before
C D
Was written on her front door
Am
"Silence in the courthouse!"
D Em C G D B7
Am D Em
A presence in the room we both could feel
C G D B7 Am
The father of her unborn child and me
[CHORUS]
Am Em
All on the board the White Pearl have died
C G F
Coastal reef has tolled their lives
G C Em
While I was the guide light
Am Em
Back in my tower, run, run, run
C G F
Light is out, I hope to see
G C Em Bm
Black oceans beneath rise and swallow me
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Bm F#m D A
G A D F#m

[BRIDGE]
Bm C F# Bm
Bm C F# Bm F# Bm
Bm C
One step will take me back inside
F#
Another sees my end!
Bm
No one can love a man who guarded the light
G C
(Gaurded the light) one fateful night
F#
Flaming eyes I must confront
Bm F# Bm
Before I am stated free
C
Defining innocence is hell
F#
After all that has passed
Bm
Building new walls inside
G C
My eternal night
F#
Although they took my heart
Bm F# Bm
And dried me up, sometimes I still bleed
F# Bm Em F#
Show me the way, show me the way
Bm
The light will show me
A D F#
A way on the grisly reefs
Bm G Em
Too many dead ends I see
Bm
No soul can save me,
A D
The respect I lost, the measure of a man
Em Am G D
Em Am G Am
Em Am G D
Em Am G Am
Am Dm C G

[CHORUS]
Bm F#m
10,000 steps down, round and round
D A G A D F#m
One night on the town and I'm hell bound
(Black oceans beneath)
Bm F#m
All on board the White Pearl have died
(Come and swallow me)
D A G
Coastal reef come claim my life
A D F#m Bm F#m
Black oceans beneath, come and swallow me
(My little tower, seal my fate)
D A G
Help me pay back, end their hate
A D F#m Bm F#m
Black oceans beneath, come and swallow me!
(One direction, down, down, down)
D A G
Pitch black night for my old town
A D F#m Bm
Black oceans beneath shall now swallow me
