It's market day when
D C
they bring the flood
Em C D G D
faster than our feet can ru..n
Em C D G
swarm of angels from above
C Em D G D
all is broken still they come
C Em
And round the oak tree
G D
air is shaking
C Em G D
children sleep under the sun
C G
and we go down to the river to pray
D Am
pray for magic and another day
C
but its low now, its like
G
we're fading away
D C
into the dirt of memory
Em G D
along the silk road
C
the fires burn
Em C D G
where the seats of learning stood
Em C
and handsome couples
D G
would take a turn
C Em D G
through the wealthy neighbourhood
C Em G D
oh, roll the stone or move the mountain
C Em G D
wake oh, wake your time has come
C G
and we go down to the river to pray
D Am
pray for magic and another day
C
but its low now, its like
G
we're fading away
D C
into the dirt of memory
G
and we go down to the river today
D Am
we pray for silence and we pray for grace
C
but its low now
G
still you're rubbing my face
D C
into the dirt of memory

In a shop in Al-Medina

And a house in the old quarter
C G Fmaj7
and I'll never sleep again

Centuries lived in these stones

C Em G D
oh, roll the stone or move the mountain

and we go down to the river to pray

but its low now, its like

we're fading away

into the dirt of memory

and we go down to the river today

we pray for silence and we pray for grace

into the dirt of memory
