Chords for Genesis - The Lamia with Lyrics

[B] _ _ _ _ _ The scent [Bbm] grows richer, _ [Abm] he knows he must be [Bbm] near
_ [E] He finds a long [Ebm] _ passageway lit [Fm] by chandelier _
_ _ _ [B] Each step he takes [Bbm] the perfumes change
[Abm] From familiar fragrance [Bbm] to flavours [E] strange
A magnificent [Ebm] chamber _ [Fm] meets his _ eye
[E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _
[Dbm] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [B] _ _ Inside a [Bbm] long rose water pool [Abm] is shrouded by fine [Bbm] mist _
_ [E] _ Stepping in the [Ebm] moist silence with [Fm] a warm breeze he's gently kissed _
_ [B] Thinking he is [Bbm] quite alone [Abm] he enters the room [Bbm] as if it were his own
[E] But ripples on [Ebm] the sweeping water [Fm] reveal some company _ _ [Cm] unfollowed
The male [Ab] stands [Cm] astonished, [Ab] doubt in [Gm] his sight
Struck by [Ab] beauty, gripped [Fm] in [Eb] fright
_ _ [Cm] Three _ [Ab] vermilion snakes, a female [Gm] face
The smallest [Ab] motion filled [D] with [Eb] grace
_ _ [Dm] _
[Gm] _ [Dm] New technologists [F] fill [C] the echoing [D] hall
But _ _ _ _
[Gm] there [Dm] is no [F] sign of [Em] warning [F] in the [C] [D] siren's call _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] Rail, [D] welcome, [Am] we are [E] the lamia [Bm] of the [Gbm] pool
[Dbm] _ _ [Abm] [A] We [E] have been waiting [A]
for [E] hours [Gbm] to bring [Dbm] you cool

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ Putting fear [Bbm] beside him, [Abm] he trusts in [Bbm] beauty blind
[E] He slips into [Ebm] the nectar, leaving [Fm] his shredded clothes behind
_ _ [B] With their tongues [Bbm] they test, taste and judge
[Abm] _ _ [Bbm] All that is mine
[E] They move in a [Ebm]
sphere, is a caresses [Fm] that glide up and down my [E]
spine
_ _ _ _ [Abm] As _
[Dbm] _ _ [Abm] _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ they [Bbm] nibble the fruit of my [Abm] flesh I feel [Bbm] no pain
_ _ [E] _ Only a [Ebm] magic that [Fm] a name would stain _ _
_ [B] With the first drop [Bbm] of my blood in their veins
[Abm] Their faces are convulsed [Bbm] in mortal pains
[E] The fairest cries, [Ebm] we all have [Fm] loved you well
_ _ _ Each [Cm] _ _ [Ab] empty snake like body [Gm] looks
Silent [Ab] sorrow in [D]
[Eb] empty boats
_ _ [Cm] _ [Ab] I see [Cm] clear [Ab] sarness fills [Gm] the room
The bitter [Ab] harvest of [D] a [Eb] dying bloom
_ [F] _
[Gm] _ [Dm] Looking for [F] motion I know [C] I will [D] not find _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] Stroke [Dm] the curls [F] now turning [C] pale
[F] In which [C] I'd lain [D] entwined _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] Oh [D] lamia, [Am] your flesh that [E] remains [Bm] I will take [Gbm] as my [Dbm] food
_ [Abm] I'm [A] _ _ [E] Santa [A] Clark, [E] let fingers on [Gbm] my chubby [Dbm] feet _

[B] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ me, [Abm] the water turns icy [Bbm] blue
