Chords for How to Write a NIGHTWISH Song (feat. @TheCharismaticVoice)

I showed you guys how to Nightwish in 30 seconds and you said you wanted a full version.
So we're going to write an entire Nightwish song from start to finish and by the end of this video
the songs will be available to stream on all platforms.
And of course we're going to have vocals for this but the secret for this one is
there is no secret vocalist.
You already know who it is.
It's going to be Elizabeth of the Charismatic Voice.
She did the short with me and she's just going to dominate the whole track with me.
We're just going to do it up.
Also did you know that 51% of you aren't subscribed?

Hit the [D] notification bell.
Come hang out.
We do fun metal things here.
Anyways we're just going to do this up.
I'm in drop D for this.
_ Right good old drop D guitar center tuning.
With this basically the guitar riffs are more just the backing.
There's going to be a [E] lot of like [D]
you _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
know like just palm muted chilled power chords.
It's not going to be like a riff salad or anything like that.
Most of the salad ingredients are going to come actually from the piano melodies,
the orchestra, the production and actually the vocals.
What's the riff I [Dm] got going on here?
As usual I forget it.
[D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] I got it!
I think we're just going to start it like this right?
Maybe just make it longer.
I'm just going to extend the intro in the sense of just letting a lot of this have some space.
We're gonna start with the piano melody.
I think that's great.
[E] _ _ [C] _ _ [B] _ _ _
Okay I'll take the synth pad and put it in to kind of fade in maybe with [Dm] this.
I think that'll be good.
_ _ _ There we go.
[Ab] Okay so what comes next?
I think I'm just gonna like make the most basic like guitar riff ever [C] and just do this.
[D] _ _ _
_ _ And then [F] _ _ _ _
_ and then we can do like a [G] really cool pre-chorus.
Some weird fun pre-chorus.
Cool let's do that.
I [Dm] like that. _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ I don't know if we should keep the piano going during this.
We might keep the piano [E] going during this.
Let me see but it's just going to be a different piano melody.
It's going to be like more tone [Am] back. _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ I think we're going to go two rounds but then we're going to [F] build the next repeat with [Gb] orchestra.
With vocals I don't think it'll be [Dm] boring.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ We're going to need to quantize obviously.
Look at how I mean what do you mean I don't need to quantize guys?
You see like you see like look at how on time [G] these are.
I'm just going to only play the production.
Listen to this.
It's going to sound huge.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ Huge.
Kind of ginormous if you would ask me. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [A] _ [B] That's kind of what I thought for a pre-chorus but we'll see.
It's an A where's an A where's the A where's the A.
[E] _ _ Very simple piano.
[Gb] We're going to copy past to [G] this.
_ [A] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ That's kind of cool.
Just let the chords play out.
I could just do like [Bb] a. _ _
_ _ _ _ So we are making a chorus.
So this is going to be the chorus then. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ I like that too yeah.
And [E] it's a bit different so I'm okay with that.
I'm just going to make [D] it so it follows [Db] the uh the chord [C] progression as well. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I'm going to end it [Db] with that and that'll be cool.
You know just a little [Gb] accent at the end. _
_ [G] And then it's just [Ab] basically copy paste um the verse again.
[Gb] So then I'm going to take out the verse because we're [F] just going to go back to the verse.
[D] But we're not going to do double verse because it's a bit long.
We're going to do half of the verse right here and we're going to do some like copy pasta.
_ [Eb] _ _
[E] They do breakdowns.
We're going to do a [B] breakdown then.
What the f**k yeah I forgot they actually do breakdown.
And then we're gonna go like.
_ [D] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ Oh chat chat chat chat chat chat chat chat.
Do you trust?
Do you [F] trust?
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [D] _ _ This is gonna be sick dude.
Adding this huge element of like suspense.
_ _ I'm gonna have the lower one [G] that's fine.
And then I want to have like this really high one.
_ Maybe [Gb] up here. _
_ _ [Ab] Here we go it's it's vocal time from Elizabeth.
She's got this.
She's gonna do the thing. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [Dm] _ _ _
In the panda of enchanted [G] _ forest.
_ _ [Dm] We shall roam.
[Am] _
_ _ Seeking [C] echoes of laughter. _
We once called home.
[Dm] With every step our _ heart shall [D] mend. _
As we [Dm] _ trace [Bb] the echo. _
_ _ _ Around [F] and around. _
No [C] red pen.
Through [A] the moonlit tide.
[Bb] And starry tales of [Am] red and the night.
[C] Never to say.
