                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From:                Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Black Moon

Transcription by:    Rainer Boettchers (boettchers.pad@sni.de)

Tuning:              EADGBE (Standard)

Comments:            As this song is rather simple (compared to other songs
                     from Greg Lake) this is only a .CRD file.
                     Greg, as usual, inserts some variations.
                     Some special chord forms:
                     Dmaj*   = short switches between Dmaj and Dsus4add9 no 5th
                               (xx0232 and xx0032, just lift your index finger 
and
                               hammer on again)
                     Dmaji1  = 1st inversion Dmaj (xx4232, use pinky
                               for 4th fret on D4)

*** Intro:

D   Dsus4n5   D   Dsus4n5   Dmaji1   Am9   C   D
                     
*** Main theme/bridge:

D*                            G
First time when you looked at me ...

You tried to hide but I could see

                         D*
A special beauty in your eyes

                            G
Passion flying like a spark ...

Like an arrow to the mark

                         D*
I feel it sting my jealousy

           Am9         C              D*
Before you know there's footprints in the snow

(Dmaj*   Dsus4n5   Dmaji1   Amin   Cmaj   Dmaj*)

D*                     G
Desire like a river flows ...

Where it comes from no one knows

                         D*
It isn't heard, it isn't seen

                              G
Love just like a flower grows ...

And then God only knows

                         D*    Am9
It comes down like guillotine ... 

      C
Now I feel the rain

   G           D          Am9
of love torn by a hurricane ...

            C               G
One night eclipsed the sun ... 

               D*
How deep still waters run

              Am9    C              D*
How deep they go like footprints in the snow

(Dmaj*   Dsus4n5   Dmaji1   Amin   Cmaj   Dmaj*)

D*                        G
Take my love into your brest ...

Commit my spirit to the test

You'll see him like a knight

           D*
His armour gleams

                                 G
We'll fly upon his angel's wings ...
                            
Above the clouds in rainbow rings

                      D*  Am9
We can sail a ship of dreams ...

            C
If you will take my hand

       G              D         Am9
We can cross this desert made of sand ...

                C            G
We can break in through the ice ...

                 D
Feel the wind of paradise

              Am9     C              D*
We'll feel it blow our footprints in the snow

(Dmaj*   Dsus4n5   Dmaji1   Amin   Cmaj   Dmaj*)

D*                  G
Anytime you feel alone ...

Just raise your hand, pick up the phone

                             D*
Tap in my number, there I'll be

                                  G
If one day your stars won't shine ...

I will give you some of mine

                             D*   Am9
Cause they could fall so easily   ...... 

            C
If you will take my hand

       G              D         Am9
We can cross this desert made of sand ...

                C            G
We can break in through the ice ...

                 D
Feel the wind of paradise

              Am9     C              D*
We'll feel it blow our footprints in the snow

(Dmaj*   Dsus4n5   Dmaji1   Amin   Cmaj   Dmaj*)

        Am9         C              D
We both know there's footprints in the snow
