Intro:

F   Fsus4   F   Fsus4   F  


        C/F            Eb/F  
So many times out there
               Bb/F  F    G9/F  
I've watched a happy pair
          A7/F           F    Gm7/C
Of lovers walking in the night
                         F         Bbsus2  
They had a kind of glow around them
          Bbsus2/D    Am7      Bb   F  
It almost looked like heaven's light


           C/F       Eb/F
I knew I'd never know
              Bb/F   F    G/F  
That warm and loving glow
               A/F              Asus4   A   Dm  
Though I might wish with all my might
           Dm/C       Bb(add2)   F/A   Gm7    
No face as hideous as my face
                   F(add2)/A  Bb(add2)
Was ever meant for heaven's light


    F  Bbm/F  F   F7      Bb(add2)
But suddenly an angel has smiled at me
    Dm                                 G   C7sus4    C7    F  
And kissed my cheek without a trace of fright
          C/F           Eb/F  
I dare to dream that she
           Bb/F     F    G7/F  
Might even care for me
         A7/F               Em7/A   Am   Bb 
And as I ring these bells tonight
                            Am   Dm7   Gm7  
My cold dark tower seems so bright
           C7sus4            F5
I swear it must be heaven's light

     Gm         D  Gm   
Then tell me, Maria
Cm            Bb/D    D   
Why I see her dancing there
Eb                 Asus4       A7        D    
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul

The sun caught in raven hair

Is blazing in me out of all control

                               D7b9    G5
Verbo et opere (In word and deed)


Like fire

This fire in my skin
This burning
Desire

Mea culpa (Through my fault)
                                              C

If in God's plan
Mea culpa (Through my fault)
            C#maj7        Dm7b5    G/B    Csus4
He made the devil so much stronger than a man

   F          C  F   
Protect me, Maria
      Bbm            F      C/Bb   
Don't let this siren cast her spell
      F/A          Bb                Dm
Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone
  F
Destroy Esmeralda

And let her taste the fires of hell
   Gm7                            A7sus4   A7  
Or else let her be mine and mine alone
