Desert Rose by Sting
Desert Rose
Am
I dream of rain
G
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
F
I wake in vain
E
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Am
I dream of fire
G
Those dreams that tie two hearts that will never die
F
And near the flames
E
The shadows play in the shape of the mans desire
----------------------------------------------
As far as I am aware, pretty much the whole song follows these chords.
And being the lazy person that I am, I can't be bothered to tab the rest of the song.
on the plus side I've posted (read copy and pasted) the rest of the lyrics below.
Aren't I nice :D
----------------------------------------------
This desert rose
Whose shadow bears the secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this
And now she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothings as it seems
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of love
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Sweet desert rose
Whose shadow bears the secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this
Sweet desert rose
This memory of hidden hearts and souls
This desert flower
This rare perfurme is the sweet intoxication of love
