Desert Rose by Sting Attempted tab by Jngoi Seriña
Intro: C#m – B please listen to the song to get the timing
C#m I dream of rain B I dream of gardens in the desert sand A I wake in pain F#m7G#7sus4 I dream of love as time runs through my hand
C#m ( repeat 1st stanza chords ) I dream of fire These dreams that are tied to a horse that will never tire And in the flames The shadows play in the shape of a mans desire
