Sting - There is no rose of such virtue (Live in Durham 2009).flv chords
Start Jamming...
Those two songs have as a central metaphor the rose.
The rose was a medieval symbol of flawless perfection.
Both songs are based upon a quotation from the Bible from Isaiah.
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse and a branch shall grow out of its roots.
The first song is English, 15th century.
But I've interpreted this song in a kind of Middle Eastern way for a number of reasons.
One, the whole Christian story comes from the Middle East.
As does a lot of English music.
This instrument, this lute, in Arabic is laud.
It was brought back to England by the Crusaders.
Stolen.
So [G] this song is called
What is it called?

There [Fm]
is no [G] rose of such [Fm] virtue.

By [Bb] that [F] rose we bear [Bb] the seed
