[B] The scent [Gb] grows [Bbm]
richer, [Abm] he knows he must [Bb] be near,
[E] He finds a long [Ebm]
passageway lit [Fm] by chandelier.
[B] Each step he takes [Bbm] the perfumes change, [Abm] From familiar [Bbm] fragrance to flavors strange,
[E] [Ebm] Magnificent chamber [Fm] meets his eye.

[Ebm] [E]
[B] Inside a [Bbm] long rose water pool [Abm] is shrouded by [Bbm] fine mist,
[E] Stepping in the [Ebm] moist silence with a [Fm] warm breeze is gently kissed.
[B] Thinking he is [Db] quite alone, [Abm] he enters the room as if [Bbm] it were his own,
[E] But ripples on the [Ebm] sweet pink water [Fm] reveal some company [Eb] [F] unthought [Cm] of.
Rail [Ab] stands [Cm]
[Ab] astonished, [Gm] doubting his sight, Struck [Ab] by beauty, [Fm] ripped [Eb] in fright.
[Cm]
Three [Ab] vermilion snakes saw a female [Gm] face, The smallest [Ab] potion filled [Eb] with grace,
[F] [Gm] Euclid's [Dm] pink melodies [F]
fill [C] the [D] echoing hall,
[Gm] But [Dm] there is no [F]
sign [C] of warning [F] in [C] the [D] cyrus' call.

Rail, [Dm] welcome, [Am] we are [Em] the landlier [Bm] of the [Gbm] pool, [Dbm] [Abm]

[B] With the tongue's taste [Bbm] and judge, [Abm] all that is [Db] mine,
They [E] move in a [Ebm] series of caresses [Fm] that glide up and down [E] my spine.

[B] As they nibble [Bbm] the fruit of my flesh, [Abm] I feel no [Db]
