Verse 1:
   Bm        G       Em
He asked her hand in dance
Bm     G         A
As they played a waltz
    Bm          G           Em
She slipped, he grasped the chance
    Bm   G               A  G
The fire burned down the wall
                    A
And thus became the waltz

Verse 2:
    Bm      G          Em
And she got dressed to kill
       Bm       G       A
For he asked her out to dine
    Bm     G              Em
The waiter sneaked on the thrill
        Bm   G             A  G
A first kiss tore down the wall
                  A
And thus came the waltz


Chorus:
       D
Like a Rose of Jericho
A
Watered in the sun
        Bm
Now she goes letting go of her soul
G
Breathin' with new lungs
       D
Like a knight he takes the blows
 A
'Til the dragon's won
      Bm
As he fights to free her soul
    G
The kidnapper is outdone
A        G                A  Bm
Heart on heart lights the spark


Instrumental:
Bm G A          Bm  G   A
         What a gem,  a finest of men


Verse 3:
   Bm   G      Em
An Eden like romance
     Bm         G       A
Snow White came back to life
    Bm        G             Em
Her sigh, his breath, their dance
   Bm       G        A  G
Oh timeless mindless time (oh blessed plan)
                   A
Of the great mastermind


Chorus:

Like a Rose of Jericho
A
Watered in the sun

Now she goes letting go of her soul

Breathin' with new lungs

Like a knight he takes the blows

The kidnapper is outdone
