[Intro]
 
Em G D C
Em G D
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
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
 
 
[Pre Chorus]
 
     C         Em
And round the oak tree
G       D
air is shaking
C         Em    G    D
children sleep under the sun
 
 
[Chorus]
     C                G
and we go down to the river to pray
D                  Am
pray for magic and another day
         C
but its low now, its like
        G
we're fading away
D                 C
into the dirt of memory
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
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
 
 
[Pre Chorus]
 
     C        Em       G        D
oh, roll the stone or move the mountain
C         Em        G        D
wake oh, wake your time has come
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     C                G
and we go down to the river to pray
D                  Am
pray for magic and another day
         C
but its low now, its like
        G
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 its low now
              G
still you're rubbing my face
D                 C
into the dirt of memory

Fmaj7             F    Fmaj7

       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

Centuries lived in these stones

and we go down to the river to pray
D                  Am
pray for magic and another day
         C
but its low now, its like
        G
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 its low now
              G
still you're rubbing my face
D                 C
into the dirt of memory
