Mereb:
Am F
I grew up in your hometown
G Am
At least began to grow
F G
I hadn't got to my first shave
G C
before the body blow
Dm C
Egyptians in the courtyard
F G
My family in chains
Am F
You witnessed our abduction
F E
Which possibly explains
Am F
How I know you
F G
How I know you
Am F
Before that fateful morning
G Am
My family enjoyed
F G
A privileged existence
G C
For my father was employed
Dm C
As advisor to the King no less
F G
Which surely rings a bell
Am F
For as your are his daughter
F E
You probably can tell
Am F
How I know you
F G
Yes I know you
Aida:
A#
You know too much and what you say
Am
Is better left unknown
A#
And now I'm just a slave like you
C A
Our lives our not our own
Mereb:
Dm A#
I never have abandoned
C Dm
And nor I think could you
A# C
That spark of hope for freedom
C F
No terror can subdue
Aida:
Gm F
My only hope is silence
A# C
You've never seen my face
Mereb:
Dm A#
No you remain a princess
Gm A
In any time or place
Aida:
Dm A#
You don't know me
Mereb:
A# C
Yes, I know you
Aida:
C Dm
You don't know me
Mereb:
A# C
How I know you
C Dm
How I know you
