  • This song is a waltz (3/4 time), so on a guitar you just hit the tonic on the
    first beat and then the rest of the chord on the second and third beats. The
    chords here are F(133211), Dm(xx0231 / xx3231), Am(x02210), and C/G(332010).
  • To keep things a little more interesting and melodic, the bass note moves
    through the song:
     
  • F F Dm Dm Am Am C C/G
    --1-1---1-1---1-1---1-1---0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0---|
    --1-1---1-1---3-3---3-3---1-1---1-1---1-1---1-1---|
  • --2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2---0-0---0-0---|
    ------------0-----3-----2-------------------------|
    ------3-----------------------0-----3-------------|
  • 1-----------------------------------------3-------|
     
    This pattern repeats through the whole song

    F F Dm Dm
    He opens his eyes, falls in love at first sight
  • Am Am C C/G
    With the girl in the doorway
    F F Dm Dm
  • What beautiful lines, how full of life
    Am Am C C/G
    After thousands of years what a face to wake up to
  • F F Dm Dm
    He holds back a sigh as she touches his arm
    Am Am C C/G
  • She dusts off the bed where till now he's been sleeping
    F F Dm Dm
    Under miles of stone, the dried fig of his heart
  • Am Am C C/G
    Under scarab and bone starts back to its beating
     
  •  
    She carries him home in a beautiful boat
    He watches the scene from a porthole in stowage
  • And he can hear all she says as she sits by his bed
    And one day his lips answer her in her own language
    The days quickly pass, he loves making her laugh
  • The first time he moves it's her hair that he touches
    She asks, "are you cursed?" he says "I think that I'm cured"
    Then he talks of the Nile and the girls in Bulrushes
  •  
     
    In New York he is laid in a glass covered case
  • He pretends he is dead, people crowd round to see him
    But each night she comes round and the two wander down
    The halls of the tomb that she calls a museum
  • Often he stops to rest, but then less and less
    Then it's her that looks tired, staying up asking questions
    He learns how to read from the papers that she
  • Is writing about him and he makes corrections
    It's his face on her book, more and more come to look
    Families from Iowa, Upper Westsiders
  • Then one day it's too much, he decides to get up
    And as chaos ensues he walks outside to find her
    She's using a cane and her face looks too pale
  • But she's happy to see him, as they walk he supports her
    She asks, "are you cursed?", but his answer's obscured
    In a sandstorm of flash bulbs and rowdy reporters
  •  
    Such reanimation, the two tour the nation
    He gets out of limos, he meets other women
  • He speaks of her fondly, their nights in the museum
    But she's just one more rag now he's dragging behind him
    She stops going out, she just lies there in bed
  • In hotels in whatever towns they are speaking
    Then her face starts to set, her hands start to fold
    Then one day the dried fig of her heart stops it's beating
  •  
    Long ago in the ship, she asked, "why pyramids?"
    He said think of them as an immense invitation
  • She asked, "are you cursed?" he says, "I think that I'm cured"
    Then he kissed her and hoped that she'd forget that question
