BrBmother, there's a man at the gate, hF#me has something in his hBmand,
He says it fell down from the sky, should I let him Gin?
Maybe it's an omen, maybe it will take away our sBmin, our sin.....
'TBmis a diamond that he has, the bF#miggest one I've ever sBmeen,
And when he holds it in his hand, it's shining like the sGun,
He says it's from another world, he calls it the mirror of the sAoul,
We must plDace it Bmon the Galtar hAigh, sDend the DBmevil Gto the fAire,
PEower over mDen we'll have when they sAee it shGine, whGen they sAee it shBmine,
BrBmother, fetch the Abbot now, tF#mell him of this wondrous thBming,
Tell him that we'll have control of all the riches it will brGing,
When people come to see it, for money we will purify their sBmouls, their souls,
WBmith my knife I'll kill this man, I'll sF#mend him to the Promised LBmand,
And whGen we take the diamond, we will have the future in our hAands, in our hands,
When we plDace it Bmon the Galtar hAigh, sDend the DBmevil Gto the fAire,
PEmower over mDen we'll have when they sAee it shGine, whGen they sAee it shDineBm!G  A  D  Bm  G  A  D

That's how it stBmarted, that whole new religDion, and pAeople everywhGere,
Had to gGive up all their possessDions at the EmAbb St. PierrF#e,
But with their gBmold they could buy a redDemption, and the prAomise of eternal lifeE,
And the cGentre of it all was a dDiamond divAine,
It was Dup there Bmon the Galtar hAigh but fDor the mBmonks it wGould not shAine,
SEmo with subterfDuge they used the lAight of the sGun, fooling AeveryBmone,
It was lBmate at night when a young bDoy was Ain there with his frGiends,
And they dGared him up to the altDar, to tEmouch the famous gemF#,
And when he dBmid, the whole place explDoded with a grAeat and wonderful lEight,
And the pGeople came from Deverywhere to seAe,
When he tDook it from the Galtar hAigh, Deveryone could mGake it shAine,
ExcEmept the Abbot Dand his men, for thAem, no lGight,
They could not mAake it shDine.Bm  G  A  D  Bm  G  A  Em  D  A  G  A  D

 FAnd in the Cend, Fmany heard the brBbothersDm, making confGmession of the,
 ThBbings they had dCone,
 FAnd the Abbot lCed Fthat sad procBbession, as they wFent through the,
 GCate past the plBbace where it hCad begFun
 And Call their drDmeams of glBbory, all their schCemes and storBbies,
 FWould come to nGmothing after Call,
 Because a pDmower grBbeater from the wAmorld's creatBbor,
 Gave us lFove to light the mCirror of the sDmoul,Bb  
 Only lFove can light the mCirror of the sFoul,
 FAll through the wCorld, Fthere are many Bbothers, Fwho always fGmollow
 EverythBbing they are tCold,
 FBy men with rCules Fand regulBbations, usFing old superstCitions and
 TBbales to assCume contrFol,
 But Call their drDmeams of glBbory, all their schCemes and stBbories,
 FWill come to nGmothing after Call,
 Because a pDmower grBbeater from the wAmorld's creatBbor,
 Gave us lFove to light the mCirror of the sDmoul,Bb  
 Only lFove can light the mCirror of the sFoul,Dm  Bb  C  Bb

Bm G Bm G Bm F# Bm F# Bm F# Bm

Intro:

Bm F#m Bm

Brother, there's a man at the gate, he has something in his hand,

He says it fell down from the sky, should I let him in?

Maybe it's an omen, maybe it will take away our sin, our sin.....

Bm F#m Bm

'Tis a diamond that he has, the biggest one I've ever seen,

And when he holds it in his hand, it's shining like the sun,

He says it's from another world, he calls it the mirror of the soul,

D Bm G A D Bm G A

We must place it on the altar high, send the Devil to the fire,

E D A G G A Bm

Power over men we'll have when they see it shine, when they see it shine,

Bm F#m Bm

Brother, fetch the Abbot now, tell him of this wondrous thing,

Tell him that we'll have control of all the riches it will bring,

When people come to see it, for money we will purify their souls, their souls,

Bm F#m Bm

With my knife I'll kill this man, I'll send him to the Promised Land,

G A

And when we take the diamond, we will have the future in our hands, in our hands,

D Bm G A D Bm G A

When we place it on the altar high, send the Devil to the fire,

Em D A G G A D Bm G A D Bm G A D

Power over men we'll have when they see it shine, when they see it shine!

Bm D A G

That's how it started, that whole new religion, and people everywhere,

G D Em F#

Had to give up all their possessions at the Abb St. Pierre,

Bm D A E

But with their gold they could buy a redemption, and the promise of eternal life,

G D A

And the centre of it all was a diamond divine,

D Bm G A D Bm G A

It was up there on the altar high but for the monks it would not shine,

Em D A G A Bm

So with subterfuge they used the light of the sun, fooling everyone,

Bm D A G

It was late at night when a young boy was in there with his friends,

G D Em F#

And they dared him up to the altar, to touch the famous gem,

Bm D A E

And when he did, the whole place exploded with a great and wonderful light,

G D A

And the people came from everywhere to see,

D G A D G A

When he took it from the altar high, everyone could make it shine,

Em D A G

Except the Abbot and his men, for them, no light,

A D Bm G A D Bm G A Em D A G A D

They could not make it shine.

Dm Bb C

F C F Bb Dm Gm

And in the end, many heard the brothers, making confession of the,

Bb C

Things they had done,

F C F Bb F

And the Abbot led that sad procession, as they went through the,

C Bb C F

Gate past the place where it had begun

C Dm Bb C Bb

And all their dreams of glory, all their schemes and stories,

F Gm C

Would come to nothing after all,

Dm Bb Am Bb

Because a power greater from the world's creator,

F C Dm Bb

Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul,

F C F

Only love can light the mirror of the soul,

F C F Bb F Gm

All through the world, there are many others, who always follow

Bb C

Everything they are told,

F C F Bb F C

By men with rules and regulations, using old superstitions and

Bb C F

Tales to assume control,

C Dm Bb C Bb

But all their dreams of glory, all their schemes and stories,

F Gm C

Will come to nothing after all,

Dm Bb Am Bb

Because a power greater from the world's creator,

F C Dm Bb

Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul,

F C F Dm Bb C Bb

Only love can light the mirror of the soul,

F Gm C

They come to nothing after all,

Dm Bb Am Bb

Because a power greater from the world's creator,

F C Dm Bb

Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul,

F C F

Only love can light the mirror of the soul.

Intro:

F C F Bb

F C F C

F C F Bb

Sweet lady Jane, there's a place in my heart,

F Dm G C

That is made for a woman like you,

F C F Bb

I have seen you go by with your ladies-in-waiting,

F C F C

And I dream of the things we will do,

F C F Bb

For all that I am, there've been times in my life,

F Dm G C

I have tasted of love's bitter wine,

F C F Bb

So give me your hand, let there be no hesitation,

F C F

For tonight it is with me you will dine,

Cm Bb

A rose cannot hope to resemble a blush,

Bbm F C

you betray when you look in my eyes,

F C F Bb

So sweet lady Jane, I defy you to tell me,

F C F C

That you will not give in to my love,

F C F Bb

Say you will, say you will,

F Dm G C

Say that you will be my queen,

F C F Bb

Say you will, say you will,

F C F

Say that you will be my queen,

Cm Bb

A king needs a bride, who can bear him a son,

Bbm F C

A boy to be leader of men,

F C F Bb

And deep in my heart, I believe you’ve been waiting,

F C F C

For the day that you will be with me,

F C F Bb

Say you will, say you will,

F Dm G C

Say that you will be my queen,

F C F Bb

Say you will, say you will,

F C Dm A Dm Gm F Bb A A7

Say that you will be my queen,

Dm A Dm Gm

Riches and jewels and all of my kingdom,

F Bb A A7

Will be yours, if you give me a son,

F C F Bb

But if you deny me, there will come another,

F C F

And I will do with you what must be done,

C F C F Bb

So say you will, say you will,

F Dm G C

Say that you will be my queen,

F C F Bb

Say you will, say you will,

F C F C

Say that you will be my queen, yes,

F C F Bb
