The Lamia Chords by Genesis

_ The scent [Bbm] grows richer _
[Abm] He knows he must be [Ab] near _
[E] He finds a long
[Ebm] _ passageway lit [Fm] by _ chandelier _ _ _ _
[B] Each step he takes [Bbm] the perfumes change [Abm] from familiar fragrance [Bbm] to flavors strange
[E] _ _ Magnificent [Ebm] chamber meets [F] his eye
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ [E] _ _ [Abm] _ _ [E] _ _
[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 [Fm] a warm breeze he's gently kissed _ _
[B] _ Thinking he [Bbm] is quite alone
[Abm] He enters the room [Bbm] as if he were his own [E] but ripples on [Ebm] the sweet pink water [Fm] reveals some
company _ unthought of
[Cm] rail stands astonished _
[Gm] Doubting his sight
struck [Ab] by beauty
gripped in [Eb] fright
_ _ _ [Cm] three
[Ab] Vermillion snakes a female [Gm] face the smallest [Ab] motion [D] filled with [Eb] grace _
[F] _ _ [Gm] new
[Dm] technologies [F] fill [C] the [D] echoing hall _ _ _ _
_ _ But [Dm] there is no sign [C] of warning [F] in the silence [D] call
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm]
Rail [D] welcome [Am] we are the lamia
[Bm] _
_ _ [Gbm] _ _ [Dbm] We _ [A]
have been [E] waiting
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
[Gbm] _ _ [Dbm] _ [Gbm] Putting _ [Db] _ _

[Bbm] fear beside him [Abm] he trusts in beauty [Bbm] blind
He [E] slips into [Ebm] the nectar
Leaving [Fm] his shredded clothes behind
_ _ [B] With their tongues [Bbm] they test taste and judge [Abm] _ _ all that [Bbm] is mine
_ [E] They move in a [Ebm] series of caresses [Fm] that glide up and down my [E] spine _ _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ As they [Bbm] nibble the fruit of my [Abm] flesh.
I feel [Bbm] no pain
_ _ [E] _ Only [Ebm] a magic [Fm] that a name would stain
_ _ _ _ [B] With the first drop [Bbm] of my blood in their [Abm] veins their faces are [Bbm] convulsed in mortal pains
[E] The fairest cries [Ebm] we all have loved [Fm] you _ _
Each _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Ab] empty snake like body [Gm] floats _
silent [Ab] sorrow
[D] empty [Eb] boats _
_ _ [Cm] As [Ab] the [Cm] cleaserness [Ab] fills the [Gm] room the bitter _ [Ab] harvest of a dying [Eb] bloom
_ _ _ [Gm] Looking [Dm] for motion.
I know [C] I will not [D] find
_ _ _ _ _ A stroke [Dm] the curls now [C] turning pale [F] in which I'd lain him [D] twice _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] Oh
Lamia your [Am] flesh that [E] remains I will [Bm] take as my food
[Dbm] _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ [A] I
[E] Think [A] _ _ [E] there's a [Gbm] chocolate [Dbm] fingers

_ the [E] lights are dimmed
[Ebm] _ Again, the [Fm] stage is set for you
