[Intro]
Bm A G A

[Verse 1]
       Bm
Watching them come and go
           A
The templars and the Saracens
           G
They're traveling the Holy Land
    A
Opening telegrams
         Bm
Torture comes and torture goes
            A
Knights who'd give you anything
            G
They bear the cross of Coeur de Lion
         A       F#
Salvation for the mirror-blind


[Prechorus]
      G m      F        C    Cm
But if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky
Am      Em        Cm
Pray and the heathen lie will  disappear

[Chorus]
G               A7add4
Prayers they hide the saddest view
        Bb6             A7add4
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
     G              A7add4
And your prayers they break the sky in two
        Bb6            A7add4
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien

[Instrumental, with Riff 1]
Bm A G A


[Verse 2]
       Bm
Thinking of a different time
      A
Palestine a modern problem
        G
Bounty and your wealth in land
      A        F#
Terror in a best laid plan, oh
       Bm
Watching them come and go
         A
Tomorrows and the yesterdays
          G
Christians and the unbelievers
        A        F#
Hanging by the cross and nail

 [Prechorus]
      Gm      F        C    Cm7
But if you pray all your sins are hooked upon the sky
Am      Em        Cm
Pray and the heathen lie will  disappear

[Outro Chorus]
G               A7add4
Prayers they hide the saddest view

Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
     G              A7add4
And your prayers they break the sky in two
        Bb6            A7add4
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
    G           A7add4
You'll pray till the break of dawn
        Bb6            A7add4
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
       G            A7add4
And you'll believe you're loving the alien
        Bb6            A7add4
Believing the strangest things, loving the alien
