Amorphis - Silent Waters
========================
from the album "Silent Waters"

(!) Great new song from Finnish no. 1 metal band!
(!) 
(!) Chords & riff's should be quite right, but I'm not quite sure 
(!) about the very end of *Riff 2. Enjoy!

VERSE 1

    Dm               C   Bb          Gm      F C
  A day's light told me, of my son's fate
      Dm             C    Bb         Gm      F C
  the sun showed the way, grim and severe
        Dm         C       Bb        Gm      F C
  pulled under the raging, waters my child
  Dm          C         Bb          Gm     F C
  sank in the drowning, currents my son,


BRIDGE, w/ *Riff 1

   Dm   C  Bb   Gm  | Dm   C  Bb   Gm  
My Son.....


VERSE 2

    Dm               C         Bb           Gm    F C
  My strength is not enough, my powers failed me
    Dm               C       Bb               Gm    F C
  I need the heavens help, I ask for thunder's force
    Dm              C           Bb           Gm    F C
  I plead for you oh lightning, forge an iron tool
    Dm            C           Bb          Gm    F C
  a magic rake of dragging, a river for my son


BRIDGE, w/ *Riff 1

   Dm    C   Bb    Gm
My Son...


   CHORUS 
    
   Bb        Gm              Dm
      God of fire bring your light
                C            Bb
      forger of sun, help me now
                Gm               Dm
      Guardian of the shore will sleep,
              C
      In your warmth..
      
   Bb          Gm             Dm  
      Lull the folk of cold water,
                 C               Bb
      banish the serpents of the dark.
             Gm            Dm
      To the river, let me go
          C            Bb
      and fetch my son away

VERSE III

    Dm           C     Bb              Gm    F C
  A rake made of iron, from the Gods of skies
      Dm               C     Bb         Gm    F C
  the spirit of bright days, sent me the sun
  Dm             C      Bb                Gm    F C
  Cold troops of Tuoni, cannot stand in my way
    Dm              C     Bb                Gm    F C
  untouched I shall walk by the river of the night

      forger of sun, help me now
                Gm               Dm
      Guardian of the shore will sleep,
