Intro:
F Fsus4 F Fsus4 F
C/F Eb/F
So many times out there
Bb/F F G9/F
I've watched a happy pair
A7/F F Gm7/C
Of lovers walking in the night
F Bbsus2
They had a kind of glow around them
Bbsus2/D Am7 Bb F
It almost looked like heaven's light
C/F Eb/F
I knew I'd never know
Bb/F F G/F
That warm and loving glow
A/F Asus4 A Dm
Though I might wish with all my might
Dm/C Bb(add2) F/A Gm7
No face as hideous as my face
F(add2)/A Bb(add2)
Was ever meant for heaven's light
F Bbm/F F F7 Bb(add2)
But suddenly an angel has smiled at me
Dm G C7sus4 C7 F
And kissed my cheek without a trace of fright
C/F Eb/F
I dare to dream that she
Bb/F F G7/F
Might even care for me
A7/F Em7/A Am Bb
And as I ring these bells tonight
Am Dm7 Gm7
My cold dark tower seems so bright
C7sus4 F5
I swear it must be heaven's light
F5 F5 F5 Bb(add2)

Of my virtue I am justly proud

D A D
Beata Maria
Gm Dm7b5 D/A A/G
You know I'm so much purer than
Bb/F Asus4/E A7 D
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd
Quia peccavi nimis (That I have sinned)
Gm D Gm
Then tell me, Maria
Cm Bb/D D
Why I see her dancing there
Eb Asus4 A7 D
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul
A/D D
Cogitatione (In thought)
Gm D Gm
I feel her, I see her
Cm Bb/D D
The sun caught in raven hair
Eb A7 D7sus4
Is blazing in me out of all control
D7b9 G5
Verbo et opere (In word and deed)
Like fire
Hellfire

This fire in my skin
This burning
Desire

Is turning me to sin
It's not my fault

I'm not to blame
Mea culpa (Through my fault)

It is the gypsy girl, the witch who sent this flame
Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault)

It's not my fault
Mea culpa (Through my fault)
If in God's plan
Mea culpa (Through my fault)

He made the devil so much stronger than a man
Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault)

Protect me, Maria

Don't let this siren cast her spell
F/A Bb Dm
Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone

Destroy Esmeralda

And let her taste the fires of hell

Or else let her be mine and mine alone

Dark fire
Now gypsy, it's your turn
Choose me or
Your pyre
Be mine or you will
