Intro Em

Em Do you remember when you C walked with me
D Down the street into the C square
Em How the women selling C rosemary
D Pressed the branches to your C chest
Promised luck and all the D rest
Ran their fingers through your C hair

Inter Em

Em I had met you just the C day before
D Like an accident of C fate
Em In the window there be-C hind your door
D How I wanted to break C in
To that room beneath your D skin
But all that would have to C wait

In the Em Carmen of the Martyrs Em/D
With the C statues in the courtyard C/B
Whose F heads and hands were taken
In the G burden of the sun

Em I had come to meet you Em/D
With a C question in my footsteps C/B
I was F going up the hillside and the G journey just begun

Inter Em

Em My sister says she never C dreams at night
D There are days when I know C why
Em Those possibilities wi-C thin her sight
D With no way of coming C true
Cause some things just don’t get D through
Into this world although they C try

In the Em Carmen of the Martyrs Em/D
With the C statues in the courtyard C/B
Whose F heads and hands were taken
In the G burden of the sun

Em I had come to meet you Em/D
With a C question in my footsteps C/B
I was F going up the hillside and the G journey just begun

C/B of F you is in my G memory G D/F#

And Em all Em/D I C ask
C/B is F you re-G member me
