Version 2
            capo at 4th. fret  

     C           F       C   G   C             F  C  G  
She came and she touched me with hands made of heaven   
    Em             F                               C     
Reflections sent spinnin' through a face laced in mist.
                      F    C    G    C               F C G    
Now I stand where she left me buried deep 'neath her shadow  
     Em            F                        C  
And mirror pleads sadly has it all come to this?
      G                F        G     G7
And I wonder, will she call my name?
           C           F  C   G      C            F    C  G   
Where the wind careens madly through wide windows paneless  
Em          F                       C 
Fragrances mingle in a room full of shade
               F    C   G    C               F  C   G         
The peons pick partners and waltz 'cross the ceiling  
         Em      F                        C   
But the violins whisper, "have I been betrayed?"
G              F     G          G7   
Tryin' not to look ashamed.
           C              F  C   G    C              F C  G
Where the drunkards drink deeply from cups full of nothin'  
     Em             F                           C 
It's ghost-lover's laugh at the games that they play
                     F   C  G     C      F C G     
While the moments do summersaults into eternity    
Em              F                          C  
Cling to their coat-tails and beg them to stay
G                F          G         G7 
Sayin', " I got nothin' to hide".
       C            F  C  G   C             F C G  
Where illusions projected on walls made of tiffany   
Em      F                   C   
Mad minuets to a sad satin song
               F  C G     C          F    C   G    
The harlequin mandolins   harmonize helplessly    
Em           F                       C  
Hoping that endlessly won't last for long
G                   F         G             G7   
Prayin' that their god ain't died.
        C          F  C   G      C           F    C   G     
Then I turn and I see her in a dress made of moonlight   
Em              F                            C 
Teardrops like diamonds slide slow down her face
                      F    C   G    C             F  C  G   
And her arms they surround me like chains made of velvet  
        Em           F                     C  
And the demons fall faithfully into their place
         G     F         G         G7 
And the rivers run with jewels.
         C           F  C   G   C               F    C   G
Now the morning lies open, the night went quite quickly     
Em       F                       C  
Memory harmlessly fractures and fades
                  F   C   G   C         F   C   G        
All the poets do push-ups on carpets of rubber foam  
Em           F                              C    
Loudly they laugh at some joke that's been made
         G        F         G        G7 
And the wise men speak like fools.
