Intro: A G A G A G F#

[B] I was standing by the N[A]ile
[B] Whe I saw the lady sm[A]ile.
[B] I would take her out for a wh[A]ile, f[G#]or a while.

[C#] Light tears wept like a ch[B]ild.
[C#] How her golden hair was blowing w[B]ild.
[C#] Then she spread her wings to fl[B]y, f[A#]or to fly.

[D#] Soaring high above the br[C#]eezes,
[D#] Going always where she pl[C#]eases.
[D#] She will make it to the i[C#]sland [C]in the sun.

[F] I will follow in her sh[D#]adow
[F] As I watch her from my w[D#]indow.
[F] One day I will catch her[D#] eye.[D]

Solo: G F G F G F E
A G A G A G F#


[B] She is calling from the d[A]eep,
[B] Summoning my soul to endless sl[A]eep.
[B] She is bound to drag me d[A]own, dr[G#]ag me down.

Final solo: C# B C# B C# B A#
D# C# D# C# D# ... (fade out)

# ... or with my way:
#
# [A ,G]*3,[F#,F#] % for the next: A -> B , G -> A, ...
# [B ,A]*3,[G#,G#] % for the next: B -> C#, ...
# [C#,B]*3,[A#,A#] % ... until the end of the song
