Ab   Ab   Fm7  G7sus4
 
[Verse 1]
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
 
[Verse 2]
Cm
   I dream of fire
Cm
   These dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
Cm
   And in the flames
Cm
   The shadows play in the shape of a man's desire
 
[Chorus]
Eb
   This desert rose
Gm7
   Each of her veils, a secret promise
Bb
   This desert flower
     Ab                G7sus4
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
 
[Verse 3]
Cm
   And now she turns
Cm
   This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
Cm
   This fire burns
Cm
   I realise that nothing's as it seems

[Chorus]
Eb
   I dream of rain
Gm7
   I lift my gaze to empty skies above
Bb
   I close my eyes, the rare perfume
         Ab         G7sus4        (Cm)
Is the sweet intoxication of her love

No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

   Sweet desert rose

   This desert flower, this rare perfume
         Ab         G7sus4          Cm
Is the sweet intoxication of the fa-all…

that version kills my wrist.so transpoze to -3 and put your capo on 3rd fret.it's all same and much more easier :)

Absolutely fantastic tab to an amazing song. I never knew this song would chord up so well. Could you do more Sting songs? This one rocks. Jx

Yeah this is a better version but try Cm7 it`s in there.
