The Lamia Chords by Genesis

[B] _ The scent [Bbm] grows richer, _ [Abm] he knows he must be [Bbm] near
He [E] _ finds a long [Ebm] _ passageway lit [Fm] by _ chandelier _ _ _
[B] Each step he takes, [Bbm] the perfumes change
From [Abm] familiar [Bbm] fragrance to flavors strange
[E] _
A magnificent [Ebm] _ chamber [F] meets his eye
[E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Dbm] _ _
[B] _ Inside a [Bbm] long rose waterfall, [Abm] he's shrouded by fine [Bbm] mist _ _ _
[E] Stepping in the moist [Ebm] silence, with a [Fm] warm breeze he's gently kissed _
[B] Thinking _ he [Bbm] is quite alone, [Abm] he enters the room as if [Bbm] it were his own
[E] But ripples on the [Ebm] sweet pink water, [Fm] reveal some company _ [F] unthought [Cm] of
Rail [Ab] stands [Cm] astonished, [Ab] doubting [Gm] his sight
He's struck [Ab] by beauty, [Fm] gripped [Eb] in fright
_ _ [Cm] Three [Ab] vermillion [Cm] snakes, a [Ab] female [Gm] face
The smallest [Ab] motion, a [Fm] will [Eb] of grace _
[F] _ [Gm] The [Dm] dimmed [F] melodies fill [C] the [D] echoing hall _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] But [Dm] there is no [F] sign [C] of warning, [F] in [C] the silence [D] _
called
_ _ Rail, _ _ [Gm] _
_ [D] welcome, [Am] we are [E] the lamb here [Bm]
of [Gbm] the pool
[Dbm] _ _ [Abm] _ [A] We have [E] been waiting [A] for [E] our waters [Gbm] to bring you [Dbm] cool
[Gbm] _ _ _ [Db] _ _

_ [Ab] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Fm] _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ Putting fear [Bbm] beside him, [Abm] he trusts in beauty [Bbm] blind
He [E] slips into the [Ebm] nectar, _ leaving [Fm] his shredded clothes behind
_ _ [B] With their tongues, [Bbm] they test, taste and judge, [Abm] _ _ all that [Bbm] is mine
_ _ [E] They move in a [Ebm] series of caresses, [F] that glide up and down [E] my spine _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [Dbm] _ [B] _ As they nibble [Bbm] the fruit of my flesh, [Abm] I feel [Bbm] no pain
_ _ [E] _ Only [Ebm] a magic, that [Fm] a name won't stain
_ With _ [B] the first drop [Bbm] of my blood in their veins, [Abm] their faces are convulsed in [Bbm] mortal pains
[E] The fairest cries, [Ebm] we all have [Fm] loved you well
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Ab] Each empty [Cm] snake [Ab]-like body [Gm] floats, silent [Ab] sorrow _ [Fm] [Eb] into _ vaults
[Cm] _ _ [Ab] A sickly [Cm] sourness [Ab] fills the [Gm] room, the bitter [Ab] harvest of [Fm] dying
[Eb] _ _ _ [F] _ [Gm] Looking [Dm] for my ship, [F] I know [C] I will [D] not find
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] I stroke [Dm] the coals, [F] now turning [C] pale, [F] you inside, [C] _ laying in [D] _ twine _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ [D] Oh lamb, [Am] your flesh that [E] remains, I will [Bm] take as [Gbm] my _ [Db] food
[E] _ _ [A] It is [E] the scent [A] of garlic, [E] the smell [Gbm] of my chocolate [Dbm] fingers

_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
Looking [Bbm] behind me, [Abm] the water turns icy [Bbm] _ blue
[E] And lights are dimmed, _ [Ebm] once again, the [Ab] stage is set for you _ _
