C#7 F# In black lace curtains brought you near from out the plate glass window. F# Ab The Minotaur with bloody hands is - enraged by the sun. Abm7 F# Caged he by the corpses brought forth by the dawn. Ab In Orient is as I told the buckshee hangman swears. Abm7 F# For open crypts to silence nylon knots to sway by prayer. {Repeat Chorus} F# Ab In Orient where wise I was to please the way I live. Abm7 F# Come give the beggar chance at hand - his life is on his lip. www.TAB6.com
