[Intro] G [Verse 1] Anastasia, woman in the cold of the desert night
    Em                                   G
The fire in the cave is burning hard and bright
Three days her lover hunted on the plains
Em                                         G
She never knew if he would ever come home again
[Verse 2]
             C
So she could feed the flame of love and then
Hold him in her arms again
D
Make the demons all depart
Heal the wounds that break the heart [Chorus]
            G                C
A love that lasts is hard to find

         Bm                  C
Like the harmony in an old design

        Em             D
But the love of a good woman

    G              C
The love of a good woman

D                  G
Stands the test of time
[Verse 3] Woman on a cliff at the break of a winter's day
  Em                                    G
A baby at her breast and her lover far away
Watches the horizon for the curving sails to rise
 Em                                     G
Across the water and through the stormy skies
[Verse 4]
     C
He returns at last from the battle field
Where death has marched with a Christian shield
       D
She'll make the demons all depart
Heal the wounds that break the heart [Chorus]
            G                C
A love that lasts is hard to find

         Bm                  C
Like the harmony in an old design

        Em             D

The love of a good woman

D                  G
Stands the test of time
[Bridge]
    Bb                             Eb
The brittle will be broken and the supple will survive

        Bb                             Eb
Men are born to fight in armour, women born to stay alive

       Gm            Eb               Ab                   D
Behind every veil of tears there is a sister of a thousand years
[Verse 5]
G
High in a canyon where the city meets the stars

   Em                                                  G
My face against the window and my dreams that reach so far
Back to the women whose spirits so fierce and fine
      Em                                        G
Whose warriors fought for a love like yours and mine
[Verse 6]
    C
Oh, we are all the guardians
And everyday we start again
   D
To make the demons all depart
Heal the wounds that break the heart [Chorus]
            G                C
A love that lasts is hard to find

         Bm                  C

Like the harmony in an old design

        Em             D
But the love of a good woman

    G              C
The love of a good woman

Stands the test of time
[Chorus] (fade to end)
                             C
A love that lasts is hard to find

         Bm                  C
Like the harmony in an old design

The love of a good woman
