Dessert Rose Tab

by Sting


This is from the Hal Leonard Book.  Something kept bugging me and it sounded a bit off,
bit low, so I listened and played along with the original riff and adjusted it a bit.
power chords and recommend using them coz it sounds better. Give it a try, and if you 
Beng,Jiljil in Toronto, Canada. Canadian Beer Rocks !!!!

Desert Rose by Sting

Intro: C#m – B please listen to the song to get the timing


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

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


This desert rose

Each of her veils, a secret promise

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

Bridge:  – 

 –  –  –  – 
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

C#m (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…
