[Verse 1]
  F#mDo you remember when you wDalked with me
  EDown the street into the sqDuare
  F#mHow the women selling rDosemary
  EPressed the branches to your cDhest
  Promised luck and all the rest
EPut their fingers in your hDair
[Verse 2]
  F#mI had met you just the dDay before
  ELike an accident of fDate
  F#mIn the window there behDind your door
  EHow I wanted to break Din
  To that room beneath your skin
EBut all that would have to wDait
[Chorus]
In the F#mCarmen of the Martyrs
With the Dstatues in the courtyard
Whose Gheads and hands were taken
In the Aburden of the sun
I F#mhad come to meet you
With a Dquestion in my footsteps
I was Ggoing up the hillside
And the Ajourney just begun
[Verse 3]
  F#mMy sister says she never dDreams at night
  EThere are days when I know wDhy
  F#mThose possibilities witDhin her sight
  EWith no way of coming tDrue
  Cause some things just don't get through
EInto this world although they tDry
[Chorus]
In the F#mCarmen of the Martyrs
With the Dstatues in the courtyard
Whose Gheads and hands were taken
In the Aburden of the sun
I F#mhad come to meet you
With a Dquestion in my footsteps
I was Ggoing up the hillside
And the Ajourney just begun
