Dessert Rose


Hey guys, I'm doing this song acoustically, so here's my cheat sheet. The chords came from the Hal Leonard Book. This should get you through it. Desert Rose by Sting Cm I dream of rain Bb I dream of gardens in the desert sand Ab I wake in pain Fm7 G7sus4 I dream of love as time runs through my hand Cm I dream of fire These dreams that are tied to a horse that will never tire And in the flames The shadows play in the shape of a mans desire Eb This desert rose Gm7 Each of her veils, a secret promise Bb This desert flower Fm7/Ab G7sus4 No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this Cm And now she turns This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams This fire burns I realize that nothings as it seems Cm I dream of rain Bb I dream of gardens in the desert sand Ab I wake in pain Fm7 G7sus4 I dream of love as time runs through my hand Eb I dream of rain Gm7 I lift my gaze to empty skies above Bb I close my eyes Fm7/Ab G7sus4 The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love Cm (Solo sect.) Cm I dream of rain Bb I dream of gardens in the desert sand Ab I wake in pain Fm7 G7sus4 I dream of love as time runs through my hand Eb Sweet desert rose Gm7 Each of her veils, a secret promise Bb This desert flower Fm7/Ab Fm7 No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this Eb Sweet desert rose Gm7 This memory of Eden haunts us all Bb This desert flower, This rare perfume Fm7/Ab G7sus4 is the sweet intoxication of the fall… Cm (OUTRO)
