CALEB- Sonata Arctica
Acoustic version by sinForge xJp

Standard tuning, Capo 2, 4, 5 & 6 (Changes where indicated)

*I know.. 4 capo positions is a bit much, and I DID try to at least avoid the 
 switch to 5 in the middle.. Unfortunately, there wasn't a good-sounding way 
 around it.. But honestly, none of the moves are really that much hassle =) 
 Also, in the actual song, the guitar is pretty stationairy in the verses, and 
 all the tonality is in the keyboards.. so I considered the tonality when 
 doing the verse..  I've also MAPPED OUT the chords for a change =D  Enjoy!!

Just turn his head when the kid is still and has a weak neck

Smiled at his funeral, "happy you're dead."

All his solutions, it seemed, were only problems in disguise
