Sonata Arctica – My Land chords

MY LAND (Acoustic) ~ Sonata Arctica
Acoustic Arrangement by sinForge xJp
Standard Eb Tuning.. [1/2 step down]

This is "semi-based" on the acoustic performance w/ Tony
and Jani.. but you can only SEE so much of the guitar, so
I used the tonality heard in that performance, plus what
I already know about playing this song.     ~Enjoy!!

*Dadd4 = x54030 (C moved up 2 frets)
