Northern Lights Chords & Tabs
My very first tab (: I found it to sound correct... I hope you do as well.
And I don't think the part in the chorus that I posted is played by guitar... but I did
my best, and I think it sounds pretty good on my guitar. I've been playing guitar for
half my life... so yeah.

(That continues through the first verse)
Don't ever take a single second to breathe
They're gonna send me on a murdering spree
I can not wait to dance upon your grave
They don't even have a soul left to be saved
Hey
Chorus: (Only violin in the first chorus..)
We swam among the northern lights
And hid beyond the edge of night
We waited for the dawn to come
And sang a song to save us all
Second Verse: (no guitar, but you could add the guitar from the first verse if you wish)
I am alive I'm just playing dead
I'm gonna say what should have never been said
The giants of the world are crashing down
The end is near hear the trumpets sound
Chorus:
We swam among the northern lights
And hid beyond the edge of night
We waited for the dawn to come
And sang a song to save us all
