Fragile Tab

by Sting


Sounds best with nylon string guitar (or capo on 2nd fret of steel string)

                                
  If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one 
                          
Drying in the colour of the evening sun 
                            
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away 
                                       
But something in our minds will always stay 
    
Perhaps this final act was meant 
    
To clinch a lifetime's argument 
      
That nothing comes from violence 
     
and nothing ever could 
                                  
For all those born beneath an angry star 
                                  
Lest we forget how fragile we are 
            
On and on the rain will fall 
      
Like tears from a star 
Like tears from a star 
           
On and on the rain will say 
     
How fragile we are 
How fragile we are 
     
           
On and on the rain will fall 
      
Like tears from a star 
Like tears from a star 
          
On and on the rain will say 
     
How fragile we are 
How fragile we are 
How fragile we are 
How fragile we are
