Desert Rose by Sting
Attempted tab by Jngoi Seri?a

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                  Ab74
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                  Ab74
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Bridge: C#m ? Abm7

C#m ? B ? A ? F#m7 ? Ab74
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

C#m
I dream of rain
B
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
A
I wake in pain
F#m7                  Ab74
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

E
I dream of rain
Abm7
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
B
I close my eyes
F#m7/Ab                  Ab74
The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love

C#m (Solo sect.)
