Biography:
Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Kitee, Finland. The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, and former lead singer Tarja Turunen. The band soon picked up drummer Jukka Nevalainen, and then bassist Sami Vänskä after the release of their debut album, Angels Fall First (1997). In 2001, Vänskä was replaced by Marco Hietala, who also took over the male vocalist role previously filled by Holopainen or guest singers.

[Intro]
Bm-Bm9-GM7-G6-A-G-A-Bm
(Begins with 4x melody intro.)
[Verse]
Bm Bm9
An old man by a seashore
GM7 G6
At the end of day
A G
Gazes the horizon
A Bm
With seawinds in his face
Bm Bm9
Tempest-tossed island
GM7 G6
Seasons all the same
A G
Anchorage unpainted
A Bm
And a ship without a name
(Bm for 3 bars before singing continues.)
Bm Bm9 GM7 G6
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
A G A
He lightens the beacon, light
Bm
at the end of world
Bm Bm9 GM7 G6
Showing the ay lighting hope in their hearts
A G A Bm
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
(Bm for 1 measure before singing continues.)
[Chorus]
Bm G D A Bm
This is long-for got-ten
G D Em-Bm
Light at the end of the world
G D A Bm
Hori-zon cry-un
G D Em
The tears he left behind long ago
(2x Melody intro thing intercedes.)
[Verse]
Bm Bm9
The albatross is flying
GM7 G6
Making him daydream
A G
The time before he became
A Bm
One of the world's unseen
Bm Bm9
Princess in the tower
GM7 G6
Children in the fields
A G
Life gave him it all:
A Bm
An island of the universe
(4 measures of Bm and if you cool
you can say Ohh on the 3rd measure.)
Bm Bm9
Now his love's a memory
GM7 G6
A ghost in the fog
A G
He sets the sails one last time
A Bm
Saying farewell to the world
Bm Bm9
Anchor to the water
GM7 G6
Seabed far below
A G
Grass still in his feet
A Bm
And a smile beneath his brow
(Bm for 3 measures before singing continues.)
[Chorus]
Bm G D A Bm
This is for long-for got-ten
G D Em-Bm
Light at the end of the world
G D A Bm
Hori-zon cry-un
G D Em
The tears he left behind so long ago
(Intro melody x2, Bagpipe-thing solo, chorus, Introx2, Ending Bagpipe solo. Sing "So long
ago" between the Intro melodies.)
Judging from the videos I've seen of Marco playing it, I don't think he uses the same fingerings
for the chords but it sounds the same to me.
