Lyrics In the last rays of the setting sun And the past days, yeah That's where our memories run And all of those times Still race through my mind I'm shattered inside to find When the night comes down I'm here all alone When the night comes down There's nowhere to go Call me and I'll wait 'till the Summer You never understood And I will wait forever For a love that's only good As the light starts to dim The fear closes in And the nightmare's begin When the night comes down I'm here all alone When the night comes down There's nowhere to go Oh no! You won't be there tomorrow Oh no! You say it isn't true I can't take this pain and sorrow Oh! Can't you see my heart is broken in two? I'm shattered inside to find... When the night comes down I'm here all alone When the night comes down There's nowhere to go Tab Explanation : ||: :|| - Repeat Section (0) - let ring //. - Repeat the last bar the number of slashes times .// x5x - Scratch with the finger placed over fifth fret ....let ring....| - let ring notes above ...PM....| - Palm Muting on the notes above 4/2 - slide 1. - first time you play Chorus play this part 2. - second time you play Chorus play this part 7^ - bend (diatonic) 5h7 - hammer on 7p5 - pull off 5~~ - vibrato NOTES : This along with "Turbo Lover" are my favorite Priest songs. I took some time to look for tabs of it on the Web but was not able to find anything but JPEG images of a Japonese Tab book. Since the quality of printing was poor I decided to write it down as TXT. I hope that it can be useful to anyone. If you find something's missing feel free to add. Comments, sugestions and stuff : kypcka@yahoo.com
