[Intro] Em G D C Em G D [Verse 1]
Em          G
 It's market day when

D               C
 they bring the flood

Em      C       D       G   D
faster than our feet can ru..n

Em        C      D     G
 swarm of angels from above

 C      Em      D         G D
 all is broken still they come
[Pre Chorus]
     C         Em
And round the oak tree

G       D
air is shaking

C         Em    G    D
children sleep under the sun
[Chorus]
     C                G
and we go down to the river to pray

D                  Am
pray for magic and another day

         C
but its low now, its like

        G
we're fading away

D                 C
into the dirt of memory
[Verse 2]
Em         G       D
along the silk road

           C
the fires burn

Em         C         D       G
where the seats of learning stood

Em           C
and handsome couples

D            G
would take a turn

C            Em       D      G
through the wealthy neighbourhood
[Pre Chorus]
     C        Em       G        D
oh, roll the stone or move the mountain

C         Em        G        D
wake oh, wake your time has come
[Chorus]
     C                G
and we go down to the river to pray

D                  Am
pray for magic and another day

         C
but its low now, its like

        G
we're fading away

D                 C
into the dirt of memory

                       G
and we go down to the river today

    D                       Am
we pray for silence and we pray for grace

         C
but its low now

              G
still you're rubbing my face

D                 C
into the dirt of memory
[Bridge]
Fmaj7             F    Fmaj7
        ooooooooh oo   oo

       F   C Am   G F
In a shop in Al-Medina

      Fmaj7        C   G   F
And a house in the old quarter

                C     G    Fmaj7
and I'll never sleep again

D               Fmaj7
Centuries lived in these stones

D
I dont think you know
Em G D C Em C D G [Pre Chorus]
     C        Em      G         D
oh, roll the stone or move the mountain

C        Em          G       D
wake oh, wake your time has come
[Chorus]
     C                G
and we go down to the river to pray

D                  Am
pray for magic and another day

         C
but its low now, its like

        G
we're fading away

D                 C
into the dirt of memory

                       G
and we go down to the river today

    D                       Am
we pray for silence and we pray for grace

         C
but its low now

              G
still you're rubbing my face

D                 C
into the dirt of memory
