No Capo
Verse 1:

She was a tempest
Her beauty a storm

The earth stood while she danced alone

He was a tempest
His craving a storm

He lusted her body from deep in the grove

She would be his

She’d be his alone
Chorus:

So she ran, oh she ran from the satyr’s chase
G Db F#
She ran for her love and her life

She tred on a snake

Venom replaced both the beat of her heart and the song in mine

The beat of her heart and the song in mine

A requiem cry

I played my guitar and the earth opened wide

How I played, oh I played in the underworld

Give her back

The beat of her heart and the song in mine

I grant you your plea

You may leave with your wife

With one small request

I suggest you obey

You mustn’t look back as you walk away

So we ran oh we ran to the dawning light

Oh we ran for our love and our lives

Once again I would hear the sweet sound of the beat of her heart

And the song in mine
F Em B Em
The beat of her heart and the song in mine
Verse 5:
C
My mind was a tempest
My doubt was a storm
Abm
I turned back to see
A E
She really had come
Dbm
Just as our eyes met
D Bb
She faded from sight
Gm Am B Em
That’s when I knew I would never find
F G Dm Em
The beat of her heart or the song in mine
