[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
