Desert Rose Tab

by Sting


Hey guys, I'm doing this song acoustically, so here's my cheat sheet.  The chords came 
from the Hal Leonard Book.  This should get you through it.

Desert Rose by Sting


I dream of rain

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in pain
			
I dream of love as time runs through my hand


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


This desert rose

Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower
/			
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 dream of rain

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in pain
			
I dream of love as time runs through my hand


I dream of rain

I lift my gaze to empty skies above

I close my eyes
/			
The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love

Cm (Solo sect.)


I dream of rain

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in pain
			
I dream of love as time runs through my hand


Sweet desert rose

Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower
/					
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this


Sweet desert rose

This memory of Eden haunts us all

This desert flower, This rare perfume
/			
is the sweet intoxication of the fall…
