Hello again! I am bringing you yet another Carbon Leaf tab. And yet again, this one
done mostly from memory. If you find something that should be fixed, then please leave a comment.
The beginning verse is played with the low E string (which is detailed below the
but I have also included the chords above the lyrics if you'd rather play them.
Float from the balcony
E|-0 X 16----------------------|
We ride the pine top swells
E|-4 X 16----------------------|
Down from the old hotel
E|-0 X 16----------------------|
On the Lake of Silver Bells
E|-4 X 16----------------------|
Leading is lonely
E|-0 X 16----------------------|
You make alone decisions
E|-4 X 16----------------------|
Leading is lonely
E|-0 X 16----------------------|
When you're dancing through derisions
E|-4 X 16----------------------|
So much left for giving in
E|-0 X 16----------------------|
The year of the living dangerously happy
E|-4 X 16----------2 X 32------------|
On the Lake of Silver Bells

Light flickers by
A hundred suns hehind the trees
Melts us in a lullaby
Our eyelids are like movie screens
And we close our eyes
And feel the warmth come into frame
We close our eyes
Until our dreams become one and the same
So much left for giving
In the year of living dangerously happy
On the Lake of Silver Bells
We dance across till we drop
The bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake
To muffled chimes out on the lake
We dance across till we drop
The bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake
Riff 1
On the Lake of Silver Bells
W've reached a secret place
To rest and reconcile
We close our eyes
The only change is no change for a while
We'll buy the old hotel
And we will make this place our own
And fill each room with sons and daughters
And never be alone
We dance across till we drop
The bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake
To muffled chimes out on the lake
We dance across till we drop
The bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake
On the Lake of Silver Bells

Looking past the love you face
You miss the place you never had
But what you need's not just the dream
But somethings on the other end
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
You're much too fast asleep
And we dance across till we drop
The bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake
To muffled chimes out on the lake
We dance across till we drop
The bells keep time and never stop
We sleep and we wake
