Blood Of Eden by Peter Gabriel
Blood Of Eden
Capo 1
[Intro]
D A D
[Verse 1]
A D
I caught sight of my reflection
A
I caught it in the window
D
I saw the darkness in my heart
A D
I saw the signs of my undoing
A D
They had been there from the start
A D
And the darkness still has work to do
A D
The knotted chord's untying
A
They're heated and they're holy
D
Oh they're sitting there on high
A D
So secure with everything they're buying
[Chorus]
G D
In the blood of Eden
A D/F#
Lie the woman and the man
G D
With the man in the woman
A D/F#
And the woman in the man
G D
In the blood of Eden
A D/F#
Lie the woman and the man
G D
We wanted the union
A Asus
Oh the union of the woman
A D
The woman and the man
A D
[Verse 2]
A D
My grip is surely slipping
A
I think I've lost my hold
D
Yes, I think I've lost my hold
A D
I cannot get insurance anymore
A D
They don't take credit, only gold
A D
Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see
A D
You hold so tightly in your hand
A D
And all the while the distance grows between you and me
A D
I do not understand
[Chorus]
G D
In the blood of Eden
A D/F#
Lie the woman and the man
G D
With the man in the woman
A D/F#
And the woman in the man
G D
In the blood of Eden
A D/F#
Lie the woman and the man
G D
We wanted the union
A Asus
Oh the union of the woman
A
The woman and the man
[Verse 3]
Bm A Bm
At my request, you take me in
A Bm
In that tenderness, I am floating away
A Bm
No certainty, nothing to rely on
A
Holding still
Bm
For a moment
E
What a moment this is
Bm
Oh for a moment of forgetting
E Esus E2
A moment of bliss
D A
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
D A D
[Bridge]
A D
I can hear the distant thunder
A
Of a million unheard souls
D
Of a million unheard souls
A D
Watch each one reach for creature comfort
A D
For the filling of their holes
[Chorus] (x3)
G D
In the blood of Eden
A D/F#
Lie the woman and the man
G D
With the man in the woman
A D/F#
And the woman in the man
G D
In the blood of Eden
A D/F#
Lie the woman and the man
G D
We wanted the union
A D/F#
Of the woman and the man
