Fire In Cairo
=============
Am G C G F
Slowly fading blue the eastern hollows
Am G C G F
Catch the dying sun the night time follows
..
E F E F
See your head in the fading light
E F E F
And through the dark your eyes shine bright
Am G C G F
They burn like the fire burn like fire in cairo
..
E F G
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O
E F G
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O
E F G
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O
E F
And the heat disapear and the mirror fades away
Am G C G F
ad lib.
Notes: This is not quite the studio version since that version would
not sound good without 2 guitars. This is, though, closer to the
version that has been played live in some of the prayer tour concerts.
