Caruso
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Db
Capo:1st fret
[Intro]
Dm C Dm C
F
[Verse 1]
G7
Infinity gives me chills
F
So could the waters of Iceland
G
But there's a difference in finding diamonds in rust
Am
And rhinestones in a dishpan
G
Miracles bowl me over
F C
And often will they do so
Am
Now I think I was asleep till I heard
F G C
The voice of the great Caruso
[Chorus]
Dm
Bring infinity home
C
Let me embrace it one more time
Dm
Make it the lilies of the field
G C
Or Caruso in his prime
[Verse 2]
G7
A friend of mine gave me a tape
F
She'd copied from a record disc
G
It was made at the turn of the century
Am
And found in a jacket labeled "misc."
G
And midst cellos, harps and flugelhorns
F C
With the precision of a hummingbird's heart
Am
Was the lord of the monarch butterflies
F G C
One-time ruler of the world of art
[Chorus]
Dm
Bring infinity home
C
Let me embrace it one more time
Dm
Make it the lilies of the field
G C
Or Caruso in his prime
[Verse 3]
G
Yes, the king of them all was Enrico
F
Whose singular chest could rival
G
A hundred fervent Baptists
Am
Giving forth in a tent revival
G
True he was a vocal miracle
F C
But that's only secondary
Am
It's the sould of the monarch butterfly
F G C
That I find a little bit scary
[Chorus]
Dm
Bring infinity home
C
Let me embrace it one more time
Dm
Make it the lilies of the field
G C
Or Caruso in his prime
[Verse 4]
G
Perhaps he's just a vehicle
F
To bear us to the hills of Truth
G
That's Truth spelled with a great big T
Am
And peddled in the mystic's booth
G
There are oh so many miracles
F C
That the western sky exposes
Am
Why go looking for lilacs
F G C
When you're lying in a bed of roses?
[Chorus]
Dm
Bring infinity home
C
Let me embrace it one more time
Dm
Make it the lilies of the field
G C
Or Caruso in his prime
[Outro]
