Hey guys, I'm doing this song acoustically, so here's my cheat sheet. The chords came
from the Hal Leonard Book. This should get you through it.
Desert Rose by Sting
[Verse 1]
Cm
I dream of rain
Bb
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
Ab
I wake in pain
Fm7 G7sus4
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Cm
I dream of fire
These dreams that are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
The shadows play in the shape of a mans desire
Eb
This desert rose
Gm7
Each of her veils, a secret promise
Bb
This desert flower
Fm7/Ab G7sus4
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
Cm
And now she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothings as it seems
[Verse 2]
Cm
I dream of rain
Bb
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
Ab
I wake in pain
Fm7 G7sus4
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Eb
I dream of rain
Gm7
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
Bb
I close my eyes
Fm7/Ab G7sus4
The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love
Cm (Solo sect.)
Cm
I dream of rain
Bb

Sweet desert rose

Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower

No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

is the sweet intoxication of the fall…
