Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane 
G                              E7          Am

Oh, and I can see Daniel waving goodbye 
       F                 G7            F            C

Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?

Your eyes have died but you see more than I

Great job. I think a few of the chords come in at slightly different spots but in general this is five stars.

Thanks for all the Tabs Pencon. Could you put the chords for the solo into this? They are on the v2 version but I like your chords better.

just doesnt mention that there's a solo following the chorus, to the verse chords, and then the chorus is repeated before the final verse.
