[Intro]

Em   G   D   C
Em   G   D  

Em            G  
  It’s market day when
D                 C
  They bring the flood
Em     C         D       G   D
Faster than our feet can ru..n
Em         C      D     G
  Swarm of angels from above
C       Em      D          G D
All is broken, still they come
    C         Em
And round the oak tree
G      D
Air is shaking
  C       Em     G   D
Children sleep under the sun

       C              G
And we go down to the river to pray
D                  Am
Pray for magic and another day
         C
But it’s low now, it’s like 
      G
we’re fading away
D                C
Into the dirt of memory

Em          G         D
  Along the Silk Road
          C
The fires burn
Em         C         D       G
Where the seats of learning stood
Em             C
  And handsome couples
D              G
  Would take a turn

C           Em         D      G
Through the wealthy neighbourhood
    C         Em      G        D
Oh, roll the stone or move the mountain
C        Em         G       D
Wake oh, wake your time has come

       C              G
And we go down to the river to pray
D                  Am
Pray for magic and another day
         C
But it’s low now
                G
It’s like we’re fading away
D                C
Into the dirt of memory
                      G
And we go down to the river today
   D                       Am
We pray for silence and we pray for grace
         C
But it’s low now
             G
Still you’re rubbing my face
D                C
Into the dirt of memory

Fmaj7            F    Fmaj7 
       Ooooooooh oo   oo

     F    C  Am   G F
In a shop in Al-Medina
      Fmaj7        C   G   F
And a house in the old quarter
                C     G     Fmaj7
And I’ll never sleep again

D               Fmaj7
Centuries lived in these stones
D                 
I don’t think you know

Em  G  D  C
Em  C  D  G

   C        Em       G        D
Oh roll the stone or move the mountain
 C       Em         G        D
Wake, oh wake, your time has come
       C              G
And we go down to the river to pray
D                  Am
Pray for magic and another day
         C
But it’s low now
                G
It’s like we’re fading away
D                C
Into the dirt of memory

                      G
And we go down to the river today
   D                       Am
We pray for silence and we pray for grace
         C
But it’s low now
             G
Still you’re rubbing my face
D                C
Into the dirt of memory
