Rosemary chords by Suzanne Vega

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
F# minorF#m             D MajorD
 Do you remember when you walked with me
E MajorE              D MajorD
 Down the street into the square
F# minorF#m           D MajorD
 How the women selling rosemary
E MajorE                D MajorD
 Pressed the branches to your chest

 Promised luck and all the rest
E MajorE             D MajorD
Put their fingers in your hair

Verse 2:
F# minorF#m            D MajorD
 I had met you just the day before
E MajorE           D MajorD
 Like an accident of fate
F# minorF#m           D MajorD
 In the window there behind your door
E MajorE            D MajorD
 How I wanted to break in

 To that room beneath your skin
E MajorE              D MajorD
But all that would have to wait

Chorus:
    F# minorF#m
In the Carmen of the Martyrs
     D MajorD
With the statues in the courtyard
   G+G
Whose heads and hands were taken
    A augmentedA
In the burden of the sun
 F# minorF#m
I had come to meet you
    D MajorD
With a question in my footsteps
   G+G
I was going up the hillside
    A augmentedA
And the journey just begun

Verse 3:
F# minorF#m             D MajorD
 My sister says she never dreams at night
E MajorE               D MajorD
 There are days when I know why
F# minorF#m           D MajorD
 Those possibilities within her sight
E MajorE            D MajorD
 With no way of coming true

 Cause some things just don't get through
E MajorE               D MajorD
Into this world although they try

Chorus:
    F# minorF#m
In the Carmen of the Martyrs
     D MajorD
With the statues in the courtyard
   G+G
Whose heads and hands were taken
    A augmentedA
In the burden of the sun
 F# minorF#m
I had come to meet you
    D MajorD
With a question in my footsteps
   G+G
I was going up the hillside
    A augmentedA
And the journey just begun
