Song

Notes:

The first note, and probably the most important is that to play this song, first you must tune your

guitar down by a half step to Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb. I have transcribed it in the correct key as on

the album single versions, which means that if you have the single with the acoustic version on it,

you can play it also since the acoustic mix has similar, if not, the same music as the album version.

For the album version, use two guitars; one (the lead) with distortion. Listen to the track and listen

for where the distortion comes in! Otherwise, play the acoustic mix with a lone guitar and soloing

using vocal humming!

The F chord is a transition chord and should not be played for as long as the other chords.

Make sure you include a lot of muting with the "fret" hand between chord changes.

Note: There was a request for an easier version. In standard tuning;

put capo at fret 1 and set transpose button below at -2.

Recommended chord positions:

E 022100

F# 244322

B x24442

F 133211

C# x46664

Here comes my guiding star

To take me ho-oo-o-oo-ome

We travelled lands afar

We blindly row-oo-ow-oo-ow

Pre-Chorus

We spread our wings

And search our tree-ee-ee-ee-ee

And all it brings

We got a glimpse of a forgotten dream

E F# N.C.

And we want it to pass to you

Two thousand years apart

It still remai-ai-ains

You got into my heart

A sacred na-a- ame
