Verse (Guitar 2)

Em                   D    C     
I have seen the midnight sun 
Bm (riff 1)
shining
Em          D   C     Bm
I saw you fly away smiling
     C                    D
The dark night sheds no light
    Em          D     C
It merely serves a warning
                D             Em  
I pray for one single ray of hope
    D       C

Bm          Em    (riff 2)
Oh midnight sun

    Bm  (riff 1)****
shining
Em                 D   C        
Watched her rays steadily dying
Bm  (riff 1)****

      C            D
The candles are alight
   Em        D    C
I sit alone in mourning
    C              D           Em
I wonder is there death after 
     D   C
life
Bm          Em
Oh midnight sun

Bm           C
While in my life
         D
I have loved
        Em
I have lost
Bm         C                D
I feel no warmth from your days


  Em                    D     C  
Yet I have seen the midnight sun 
       Bm (riff 1)
shining
Em              D    C         
Welcomed her full golden lining
Bm (riff 1)

     C              D
For when I have to fight
    Em          D    C
To wake up in the morning

I look to her for her open arms
 D    C

Bm           C
Oh midnight sun
