[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Last night
I [Ebdim]found myself in Bag[Em] dad [Esus4]once again[Bm][Em]
And the [Am]minarets were [D]icy blue
against the [Em]dawn's [D]green [G]light
[Dm]No l[C]ove I di[D]d not ask just
[Bm]how I came or [Esus4]when[Em]
I could [Am]only [Em]wonder,
[Am]were you [Dm]there with me to sleep the night?
[G]

[Verse 2]
[G]I walked t[Ebdim]he streets of Bagdad
[Em]search[Esus4]ing for your [Bm]face[Em]
But the [Am]ancient city walls [D]held no
one in their [Em]last [D]command
[G]So [Dm]love,[G][C]
I [D]called your name with[Bm]in the marketpl[Em]ace
And my [Am]echo woke me back to morn
[Dm]ing's red and golden [G]head

[Verse 3]
And [Gm]oh, [Cm]you w[A]ere there with my pil[Dm]
low [F]touching your vel[Eb]vet h[Cm]air
[D]And [Gsus4]so as I'd sl[Gm]ept you'd been n[Cm]ear[F#dim][D][Cm][Ab][Cm][D]
[G](ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh)
(Ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh, ooh- ooh)

[Verse 4]
Last night [Ebdim]I dreamt my strange recur
[Em]ring[D] dream again[Bm][Em]
Where [Am]the scarlet evening moon still
[D]hovered [G]over Bagdad's night
[Dm]Oh l[C]ove, I found[D] myself
[Bm]alone but even [Em]then
I [Am]would sure had find your body near
[Dm]me come the morning ligh[G]t

[Verse 5]
And [Gm]oh, [Eb]you were there[A] with your sandy
[F]eyes and a sleepy sta[Cm]re
[D]And [Gsus4]though I had dr[Gm]eamt you were he[Cm]re (o[D]oh-[Cm] ooh-[D] ooh- oo
[G]h- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh)
(Ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh- ooh, ooh- ooh)
[D]So love, if

[Verse 6]
[Ebdim]
I tonight should
[Em]die before t[Bm]he d[Em]awn
And I [Am]find myself in Bag[D]dad lost
within an [Em]empty [D]sleep[G]
[Dm]No l[C]ove, I wil[D]l not feel alone
[Bm]though life has gone[Esus4]
[Em]For I know[Am] you'll be beside me even [Dm]as the d[G]ark

[Outro 1]
grows deep
