Intro:
F Fsus F Fsus F
C/F D#/F
So many times out there
A#/F F G9/F
I've watched a happy pair
A7/F F Gm7/C
Of lovers walking in the night
F A#sus2
They had a kind of glow around them
A#sus2/D Am7 A# F
It almost looked like heaven's light
C/F D#/F
I knew I'd never know
A#/F F G/F
That warm and loving glow
A/F Asus A Dm
Though I might wish with all my might
Dm/C A#(add2) F/A Gm7
No face as hideous as my face
F(add2)/A A#(add2)
Was ever meant for heaven's light
F A#m/F F F7 A#(add2)
But suddenly an angel has smiled at me
Dm G C7sus C7 F
And kissed my cheek without a trace of fright
C/F D#/F
I dare to dream that she
A#/F F G7/F
Might even care for me
A7/F Em7/A Am A#
And as I ring these bells tonight
Am Dm7 Gm7
My cold dark tower seems so bright
C7sus F5
I swear it must be heaven's light
F5 F5 F5 A#(add2)
F5 F5 F5 F5
A#(add2) A#(add2)

Beata Maria
Gm Dm7b5 D/A A/G
You know I'm so much purer than
A#/F Asus/E A7 D
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd
Quia peccavi nimis (That I have sinned)
Gm D Gm
Then tell me, Maria
Cm A#/D D
Why I see her dancing there
D# Asus A7 D
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul
A/D D
Cogitatione (In thought)
Gm D Gm
I feel her, I see her
Cm A#/D D
The sun caught in raven hair
D# A7 D7sus
Is blazing in me out of all control
D7b9 G5
Verbo et opere (In word and deed)
Like fire

This fire in my skin

If in God's plan
Mea culpa (Through my fault)

He made the devil so much stronger than a man
Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault)

Protect me, Maria

Don't let this siren cast her spell
F/A A# Dm
Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone

Destroy Esmeralda

And let her taste the fires of hell

Or else let her be mine and mine alone
