Sting


Capo:  1st


Intro:   Bm      x12

         Bm      A       G       Em      F#


Bm
I dream of rain, eleyele
A
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
G
I wake in pain, eleyele
Em                 F#                   Bm
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire, eleyele
A                          G               F#    Bm
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire

And in the flames, eleyele
A                       G          F#                
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire


D
This desert rose, eleyele
F#m                  
Each of her veils, a secret promise
A
This desert flower, eleyele
   G                  Em          F#
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this


Bm
And as she turns, eleyele
A                         
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
Bm
This fire burns, eleyele
               A              
I realise that nothing's as it seems
Bm
I dream of rain, eleyele
A
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
G
I wake in pain, eleyele
Em                 F#                   
I dream of love as time runs through my hand


D
I dream of rain
F#m
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
A
I close my eyes, this rare perfume
       G              Em            F#        
Is the sweet intoxi - cation of her love


Solo:  Bm     F#
