[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__
