Album: "Tried and True: The Best of Suzanne Vega" (1998) [Verse 1]
F#m                         D
  Do you remember when you walked with me

E                            D
  Down the street into the square

F#m                      D
  How the women selling rosemary

E                               D
  Pressed the branches to your chest
Promised luck and all the rest
E                          D
Put their fingers in your hair
[Verse 2]
F#m                       D
  I had met you just the day before

E                      D
  Like an accident of fate

F#m                      D
  In the window there behind your door

E                       D
  How I wanted to break in
To that room beneath your skin
E                           D
But all that would have to wait
[Chorus]
       F#m
In the Carmen of the Martyrs

         D
With the statues in the courtyard

      G
Whose heads and hands were taken

       A
In the burden of the sun

  F#m
I had come to meet you

       D
With a question in my footsteps

      G
I was going up the hillside

        A
And the journey just begun
[Verse 3]
F#m                         D
  My sister says she never dreams at night

E                             D
  There are days when I know why

F#m                      D
  Those possibilities within her sight

E                        D
  With no way of coming true
Cause some things just don't get through
E                              D
Into this world although they try
[Chorus]
       F#m
In the Carmen of the Martyrs

         D
With the statues in the courtyard

      G
Whose heads and hands were taken

       A
In the burden of the sun

  F#m
I had come to meet you

       D
With a question in my footsteps

      G
I was going up the hillside

        A
And the journey just begun
[Outro]
   F#m       D         G
And all__ I know__ of you__

          A
Is in my memory__

    F#m     D         G
And all__ I ask__ is you__

         A
Remember me__
