Chords for GENESIS - "The Lamia" An Imaginary Live Version (Peter Gabriel & Steve Hackett + Steve Rothery)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ The scent grows [Bbm] richer, _ he [Abm] 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 fragrance [Bbm] to flavors strange
[E] _ _ Magnificent [Ebm] chamber _ meets [Fm] his eye
_ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [E] _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ Inside [Bbm] a long rose water pool [Abm] is shrouded by [Bbm] fine mist _
_ [E] _ Stepping in the [Ebm] moist silence with [Fm] a warm breeze he's gently kissed _
_ [B] Thinking he is [Db] quite alone, [B] he enters the room as if [Bbm] it were his own
But [E] ripples on the [Ebm] sweet pink water [Fm] reveal some company unthought of
[Cm] Rail [Ab] stands [Cm] astonished, [Ab] doubting [Gm] his sight
Struck by [Ab] beauty, gripped in [Eb] fright
_ _ [Cm] Three [Ab] pavilion [Cm] snakes of [Ab] female [Gm] face
The smallest [Ab] motion filled with [Eb] grace _ _
[Gm] [Dm] Muted melodies fill [C] the [D] echoing hall
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm]
But [Dm] there is no [F] sign [C] of mourning [F]
in [C] the [D] siren's call _ _ _
_ _ _ Rail, [Dm] welcome, [Am] we are [Em] the lamb here [Bm] of the [Gbm] pool
[Dbm] _
_ [Abm] We [A] have been [E] waiting for [E] our waters [Gbm] to bring [Dbm] you cool
[Gbm] _ _
[Db] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _

_ [Ab] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ Putting fear [Bbm] beside him, he [Abm] trusts in beauty [Bbm] blind
_ [E] He slips into [Ebm] the nectar, _ leaving [Fm] his shredded clothes behind
_ _ [B] With their tongues [Bbm] they test, taste and [Abm] judge _ all that is [Bbm] mine
[E] They move in [Ebm] a series of caresses [Fm] that glide up and down [E] my spine
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ As they [Bbm] nibble the fruit of my [Abm] flesh, I feel [Bbm] no pain
_ _ [E] _ Only [Ebm] a magic that [Fm] a name would stain
_ _ _ _ [B] With the first drop [Db] of my blood in their veins
[B] Their faces are convulsed [Bbm] in mortal pains
[E] The fairest cries, [Ebm] we all have loved [Fm] you, Rail _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ Each empty snake [Ab]-like body [Gm] floats
Silent [Ab] sorrow in [Eb] empty bolts _
_ [Cm] _ [Ab] As sickly [Cm] sadness [Ab]
fills the [Gm] room
The bitter [Ab] harvest of a dying [Eb] bloom
_ _ _ [Gm] Looking for [F] motion I [C] know I will [D] not find
I _ _ _ _ stroke [Dm] the curls now [F] [C] turning pale
In which I'd [D] lain entwined
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm]
Oh [Dm] lamb, you're [Am] your flesh that [Em] remains
I [Bm] will take as [Gbm] my [Dbm] food
_ [Abm] _ [A] Here is the [E] scent of garlic
[E] That lingers [Gbm] on my chocolate [Dbm] _ [Gbm] fingers
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ [B] _ _ Looking [Bbm] beneath _ _ the [Abm] water turns icy [Bbm] blue _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [Ebm] I'm once again on [Fm] stage set for you _
