This is from the Hal Leonard Book.  Something kept bugging me and it sounded a bit off,
bit low, so I listened and played along with the original riff and adjusted it a bit.
power chords and recommend using them coz it sounds better. Give it a try, and if you 
any comments, email me: jngois@yahoo.com . Shout out to my bro Mamark, Coz: Jimbo, Wally,
Beng,Jiljil in Toronto, Canada. Canadian Beer Rocks !!!!

Position: EADGBE, number corresponds to fret number.

Desert Rose by Sting
Attempted tab by Jngoi Seriña

Intro: C#m – B please listen to the song to get the timing

C#m
I dream of rain
B
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
A
I wake in pain
F#m7			Ab7sus4
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

C#m ( repeat 1st stanza chords )
I dream of fire
These dreams that are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
The shadows play in the shape of a mans desire

E
This desert rose
Abm7
Each of her veils, a secret promise
B
This desert flower
F#m7/A			Ab7sus4
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And now she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothings as it seems

I wake in pain
F#m7			Ab7sus4
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I lift my gaze to empty skies above

I close my eyes
F#m7/Ab			Ab7sus4
The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love
