There is one acoustic and one electric guitar playing this song. If you're gonna be  
the acoustic parts, then pick each note in the chords individually. If you're playing  
guitar, then just play the same chords as powerchords. 
 
Intro: Dm C Am (B) C Dm C  
E (hold chord and ring notes) 
 
Verse: 
    Dm              C 
In a cold and dark December 
       Am           Em  F 
As I walked into the rain 
                C 
Sit beside the room 
 Dm 
All night long 
 
   Dm                C 
In a grey December morning 
     Am               Em   F 
I decided to leave my home 
                   C 
Took a train to nowhere 
    Dm 
Far away 
    Bb C    Dm 
Far away 
 
Dm                   C 
Many thousand miles away 
       Am                   Em   F 
Where the moon took to the stars 
                    C 
Dreamed about the days 
           Dm 
Days gone by 
         Bb C 
Days gone by 
 
Chorus: 
Am                 G            F 
In the night the seawinds are calling 
        C        G       F 
And the city is far, far away 
 Am       G            F 
Soon the sea turns to darkness 
       C            G             F     C 
It is night and the seawinds are calling 
          Dm           Bb C 
Seawinds call seawinds call 
 
Solo: Just play the verse chords. 
 
     Dm              C 
Ten thousands miles away 
           Am               Em 
 
Where the moon took to the stars 
 F                 C 
Dreamed about the days 
          Dm 
Days gone by 
 
          Dm             C 
I've been told so many stories 
     Am                    Em   F 
Of dreams my friends have made 
              C 
So it's no illusion 
      Dm       Bb C 
Sail away sail away 
 
Am                 G            F 
In the night the seawinds are calling 
        C        G       F 
And the city is far far away 
 Am       G            F 
Soon the sea turns to darkness 
       C         G             F     C 
It is night and seawinds are calling 
          Dm           Bb C       Dm 
Seawinds call seawinds call 
         Bb C   Dm (let it ring out) 
Seawinds call 
 
 
So, that's it for this great ballad. Have fun :-)
