 (piano)

| G | % | C | G | 
 (piano + guitar)
[Verse 1]
       G
With a glass inlaid with gemstones

     G
On a pool around the evening

 C
Among the perfumed roses

         G
Wait for her
[Verse 2]
         G
With the patience of a packhorse

G
Loaded for the mountains

       C
Like a stoic, noble prince

         G
Wait for her
[Verse 3]
           G
With seven pillows laid out on the stair

    G                                  C
The scent of womens' incense fills the air

             G
Be calm, and wait for her
[Verse 4]
    G
And do not flush the sparrows 

         G
That are nesting in her braids

     C
All along the barricades

         G      G G/F#
Wait for her
[Chorus]
Em                 C
  And if she comes soon

        | G | G   G G/F# |
Wait for her

Em                 C
  And if she comes late

|  G  |  %  |
Wait
[Verse 5]
G
 Let her be still 

     G
As a summer afternoon

  C                     |  G  |
A garden in full bloom
[Verse 6]
        G
Let her breathe in the air 

        G
That is foreign to her heart

C
 Let her lips part

         G
Wait for her
[Verse 7]
G
Take her to the balcony

        G
See the moon soaked in milk

         C
Hear the rustle of her silk

         G
Wait for her
[Verse 8]
      G
Don't let your eyes alight upon 

    G
The twin doves of her breast

C
 Lest they take flight

         G      G G/F#
Wait for her
[Chorus]
Em                 C
  And if she comes soon

        | G | G   G G/F# |
Wait for her

Em                 C
  And if she comes late

|  G  | D
Wait,   wait
(break) [Verse 9]
          G
Serve her water before wine

G
Do not touch her hand

         C                         G
Let your fingertips rest at her command
[Verse 10]
      G
Speak softly as a flute would 

     G
To a fearful violin

        C                 | G   G G/F# |
Breathe out, breathe in
[Chorus] instrumental | Em | C | G | G G G/F# |
| Em | C | G | D |
              (break)
[Outro verse]
    G
And as the echo fades

          G
From that final fusillade

  C                       G
Remember the promises you made
