[Intro] G  G  C  G

       G
With a glass inlaid with gemstones
     G
On a pool around the evening
 C
Among the perfumed roses
         G
Wait for her

         G
With the patience of a packhorse
G
Loaded for the mountains
       C
Like a stoic, noble prince
         G
Wait for her

           G
With seven pillows laid out on the stair
    G                                  C
The scent of women's incense fills the air
             G
Be calm, and wait for her

    G
And do not flush the sparrows
         G
That are nesting in her braids
     C
All along the barricades
         G    G  G/F#
Wait for her

Em                  C
   And if she comes soon
         G   G  G/F#
Wait for her
Em                  C
   And if she comes late
G    G
Wait

G
 Let her be still
     G
As a summer afternoon
   C                   G
A garden in full bloom

        G
Let her breathe in the air
        G
That is foreign to her heart
C
 Let her lips part
         G
Wait for her

G
Take her to the balcony
        G
See the moon soaked in milk
         C
Hear the rustle of her silk
         G
Wait for her

      G
Don't let your eyes alight upon
    G
The twin doves of her breast
C
 Lest they take flight
         G   G  G/F#
Wait for her

Em                  C
   And if she comes soon
         G   G G/F#
Wait for her
Em                  C
   And if she comes late
G     D  
Wait, Wait

          G
Serve her water before wine
G
Do not touch her hand
         C                         G
Let your fingertips rest at her command

      G                            G
Speak softly as a flute would to a fearful violin
        C
Breathe out
            G  G G/F#
Breathe in

[Solo] Em  C  G  G/F#
       Em  C  G  D

    G
And as the echo fades
          G
From that final fusillade
 C                        G
Remember the promises you made

( G  D  C  G )

         C                 G
She was always here in my heart
 C                     G
Always the love of my life
         C                  G   G/F#
We were strangers, oceans apart
Em       D
   But when I laid eyes on her
C                G
   A part of me died

( G  C  G  C  G )

    G
The part that is envious, cold hearted and devious
G
Greedy, mischievous, global, colonial
  C
Bloodthirsty, blind, mindless and cheap
G
Focused on borders and slaughter and sheep
G
Burning of books, bulldozing of homes
G
Given to targeted killing with drones
C                                 G
Lethal injections, arrest without trial
G
Monocular vision, gangrene and slime
G
Unction, sarcasm, common assault
 C
Self-satisfied heroic killers
          G
Lifted on high
G
Piracy adverts, acid attacks
   G
On women by bullies and perverts and hacks
    C                                    G
The rigging of ballots and the buying of power
G
Lies from the pulpit

Rape in the shower
G
Mute, indifferent

Feeling no shame
C
Portly, important
              G
Leering, deranged
G
Sat in the corner watching TV
G
Deaf to the cries of children in pain
C
Dead to the world
                  G
Just watching the game
         G
Watching endless repeats out of sight, out of mind
G
Silence, indifference

The ultimate crime
 C                                   G    G  G/F#
But when I met you, that part of me died

C                               G      G  G/F#
  Bring me a bowl to bathe her feet in
C                        G
  Bring me my final cigarette

             G         D/F#    Em        D            C    
It would be better by far to die in her arms than to linger
      B            B7
In a lifetime of regret
