Dm Bb C
Shadows run in the heat of the desert
Dm Bb
Hands beat at the door
Dm Bb
Someone stands and calls
C Dm
For the name of salome
A Bb
As the veils were pushed away
A Bb
He gazed upon a face
A Bb
He'd never seen
Dm
Was she a dream ?
Chorus:
Dm G
He heard the sound from a distance voice
Dm
You'd better watch out!
A
You'd better watch out!
Dm G
He heard the sound from a thousand years
Dm
Calling out
C
Calling out
F G Dm

In the house of salome
Bb Dm
Dm
You have to surrender
