Verse 1:

Am       G      C
Slowly fading blue
    G         F   F/C  F
The eastern hollows 
Am       G       C
Catch the dying sun
  G         F   F/C  F
Night-time follows 
 Am          G     C
Silence and black
 G       F   F/C  F
Mirror pool 
Am          G      C
Mirrors the lonely place
     G         F   F/C  F
Where I meet you


Chorus:

E        F          
See your head
      E        F
In the fading light
   E           F
And through the dark
      E        F
Your eyes shine bright


Chorus 2:

    Am        G
And burn like fire
  C         F          F   F/C  F
Burn like fire in Cairo
    Am        G
And burn like fire
  C         F          F   F/C  F
Burn like fire in Cairo


Verse:

Am       G      C
Shifting crimson veil
  G      F   F/C  F
Silken hips 
Am       G      C
Slide under my hand
G        F   F/C  F
Swollen lips 
Am       G      C
Whisper my name
  G      F   F/C  F
And I yearn
Am       G      C
You take me in your arms
G        F   F/C  F
And start to burn


E                          F  G
f  i  r  e  i  n  c  a  i  r  o
E                          F  G
f  i  r  e  i  n  c  a  i  r  o
E                          F  G
f  i  r  e  i  n  c  a  i  r  o
E                             F
And the heat disapear and the mirror fades away

Burn like a... fire fire fire
Am           G      C 
Blaze like a fire in Cairo
G               F    F    F
Blaze like a... fire fire fire
Am  G C G F  F/C F
Flare
    Am        G
And burn like fire

Burn like fire in Cairo
