GENESIS: "THE LAMIA"

Si no es lo mejor que hizo Gabriel en su vida, que no valga. Gabriel y Banks, seguramente, miti-miti. Está bajada un semitono, para hacerla más tocable. Es brava pero no imposible, dándole un poco sale.


|Bb/D| The scent grows |C6| richer, he |Bb6| knows he must be |Am7| near,
He
|Eb/G| finds a long |F6| passageway lit by |Gm/E| chandelier. 

|Bb/D| Each step he takes, the |C6| perfumes change
from fa-|Bb6| miliar fragrance to |Am7| flavours strange
|Eb/G| A magnificent |F6| chamber meets his |Em7| eye |Ebmaj7| 

Inter: |Gm - Cm7 - Bb - Cm7 - Dm7 - Ebmaj7| 

|Bb/D| Inside, a long |C6| rose-water pool is |Bb6| shrouded by fine |Am7| mist
|Eb/G| Stepping in the moist |F6| silence, 
with a |Gm/E| warm breeze he's gently kissed

|Bb/D| Thinking he is |C6| quite alone, he |Bb6| enters the room, as if it |Am7| were his own
But |Eb/G| ripples on the |F6| sweet pink water
Re-|Gm/E| veal some company un-|Em| thought of

......|Bm| Rael |G| stands as-|Bm7| tonished |G| doubting his |A6| sight
......Struck by |Gmaj7| beauty, gripped in |D| fright
......|Bm| Three ver-|G| milion |Bm7| snakes of |G| female |A6| face
......The smallest |Gmaj7| motion, filled with |D| grace |D - E|

............|F#m| Muted |C#m| melodies |E| fill the |Bmaj7| echoing |C#| hall,
............|F#m| But there |C#m| is no |E| sign of |Bmaj7| warning 
............|E| in the |Bsus2| siren's |C#| call: 

............|F#m| Rael |C#m| welcome, |G#m| we are the |Ebm| Lamia  
............|Bbm| of the |Fm| po--|Cm - Gm|--ol
............|G#| We have been |Eb| waiting |G#| for our |Eb| waters 
............to |Fm| bring you |Cm| cool |Fm - C - Dm - A - Dm - A7sus4 - A*| 

Instr. (solo piano): |D7sus2 - Cmaj7| x 3 - |Cmaj7/A - Cm11|

|Bb/D| Putting fear be-|C6| side him, he |Bb6| trusts in beauty |Am7| blind
He |Eb/G| slips into the |F6| nectar, 
leaving his |Gm/E| shredded clothes behind. 

|Bb/D| With their tongues, they |C6| test, taste and judge |Bb6| all that is |Am7| mine
They |Eb/G| move in a |F6| series of caresses 
that |Em7| glide up and down my |Ebmaj7| spine

Inter: |Gm - Cm7 - Bb - Cm7 - Dm7 - Ebmaj7| 

|Bb/D| As they nibble the |C6| fruit of my flesh, |Bb6| I feel no |Am7| pain
|Eb/G| Only a |F6| magic that a |Gm/E| name would stain

|Bb/D| With the first drop of my |C6| blood in their veins 
Their |Bb6| faces are convulsed in |Am7| mortal pains
The |Eb/G| fairest cries "We |F6| all have loved you |Gm/E| Rael" |Em|

......|Bm| Each |G| empty |Bm7| snakelike |G| body |A6| floats
......Silent |Gmaj7| sorrow in empty |D| boats.
......|Bm| A |G| sickly |Bm7| sourness |G| fills the |A6| room
......The bitter |Gmaj7| harvest of a dying |D| bloom |D - E|

............|F#m| Looking for |C#m| motion I |E| know I |Bmaj7| will not |C#| find, 
............I |F#m| stroke the |C#m| curls now |E| turning |Bmaj7| pale, 
............in |E| which I'd |Bsus2| lain en-|C#| twined

............|F#m| Oh |C#m| Lamia, your |G#m| flesh that re-|Ebm| mains 
............I will |Bbm| take as my |Fm| fo--|Cm - Gm|--od
............|G#| It is the |Eb| scent of |G#| garlic that |Eb| lingers 
............on my |Fm| chocolate |Cm| fingers |Fm - C - Dm - A - Dm - A7sus4 - A*| 

Instr. (solo piano): |D7sus2 - Cmaj7| x 3 - |Cmaj7/A - Cm11|

|Bb/D| Looking be-|C6| hind me, the |Bb6| water turns icy |Am7| blue
The |Eb/G| lights are dimmed and |F6| once again the |Gm/E| stage is set for you

Final: |Bb/D - C6 - Bb6 - Am7 - Eb/G - F6 - Gm/E| rep. y desaparece
