[Verse 1]
F#m                         D
  Do you remember when you walked with me
E                            D
  Down the street into the square
F#m                      D
  How the women selling rosemary
E                               D
  Pressed the branches to your chest
 
  Promised luck and all the rest
E                          D
Put their fingers in your hair
 
[Verse 2]
F#m                       D
  I had met you just the day before
E                      D
  Like an accident of fate
F#m                      D
  In the window there behind your door
E                       D
  How I wanted to break in
 
  To that room beneath your skin
E                           D
But all that would have to wait
 
[Chorus]
       F#m
In the Carmen of the Martyrs
         D
With the statues in the courtyard
      G
Whose heads and hands were taken
       A
In the burden of the sun
  F#m
I had come to meet you
       D
With a question in my footsteps
      G
I was going up the hillside
        A
And the journey just begun
 
[Verse 3]
F#m                         D
  My sister says she never dreams at night
E                             D
  There are days when I know why
F#m                      D
  Those possibilities within her sight
E                        D
  With no way of coming true
 
  Cause some things just don't get through
E                              D
Into this world although they try
 
[Chorus]
       F#m
In the Carmen of the Martyrs
         D
With the statues in the courtyard
      G
Whose heads and hands were taken
       A
In the burden of the sun
  F#m
I had come to meet you
       D
With a question in my footsteps
      G
I was going up the hillside
        A
And the journey just begun
 
[Outro]
   F#m       D         G
And all__ I know__ of you__
          A
Is in my memory__
    F#m     D         G
And all__ I ask__ is you__
         A
Remember me__
