The Lamia Ukulele tab

	  B/Eb            C#6 
The scent grows richer, 
   B6               A#m7 
he knows he must be here, 
   E/G#         Ebm/F# 
He finds a long passageway lit by 
Fm7/5- 
chandelier. 
 
B/Eb                    C#6 
Each step he takes, the perfumes change 
       B6                  A#m7 
From familiar fragrance to flavours strange. 
E/G#          Ebm/F# 
A magnificent chamber meets his  
Fm7   E7+ 
eye. 
 
( G#m/Eb  E  G#m7/F#  E  B/Eb  B4/E  B/Eb  E7+ ) 
 
B/Eb           C#6 
Inside, a long rose-water pool 
   B6               A#m7 
is shrouded by fine mist. 
   E/G#               Ebm/F# 
Stepping in the moist silence, with a  
Fm7/5- 
warm breeze he's gently kissed. 
 
B/Eb           C#6 
Thinking he is quite alone,  
   B6                        A#m7 
He enters the room, as if it were his own 
    E/G#            Ebm/F# 
But ripples on the sweet pink water  
Fm7/5- 
Reveal some company unthought of - 
 
Cm    Ab/C    Cm7      Ab/C         Bb6 
Rael stands astonished doubting his sight, 
          Ab7+              Eb     Eb/D  
Struck by beauty, gripped in fright; 
Cm        Ab/C    Cm7      Ab/C   Bb6 
Three ver-milion snakes of female face 
             Ab7+                Eb    F 
The smallest motion, filled with grace. 
 
Gm    Dm       F7+      C7+     D 
Muted melodies fill the echoing hall, 
Gm        Dm    F7+     C7+     F7+    C7+/9   D 
But there is no sign of warning in the siren's call: 
 Gm   Dm       Am/E       Em     Bm     F#m  C#m  G#m  
"Rael welcome, we are the Lamia  of the pool. 
A            E       A       E         F#m       C#m 
We have been waiting for our waters to bring you cool." 
 
( F#m  C#/F  Eb4/Bb  Bb  Ebm/Bb  Bb7  Bb ) 
 
Piano Solo: ( Eb7  C#7+/F  Eb7  C#7+/F  Eb7  Fm/Bb  C#m/F# ) 
 
B/Eb           C#6 
Putting fear beside him,  
   B6               A#m7 
he trusts in beauty blind  
    E/G#          Ebm/F# 
He slips into the nectar, leaving his  
  Fm7/5- 
shredded clothes behind. 
 
B/Eb                      C#6 
"With their tongues, they test, taste and judge  
B6          A#m7 
all that is mine. 
     E/G#      Ebm/F# 
They move in a series of caresses 
     Fm7                   E7+ 
That glide up and down my spine. 
 
( G#m/Eb  E  G#m7/F#  E  B/Eb  B4/E  B/Eb  E7+ ) 
 
B/Eb               C#6 
As they nibble the fruit of my flesh,  
B6        A#m7 
I feel no pain, 
E/G#   Ebm/F# 
Only a magic that a  
Fm7/5- 
name would stain. 
 
B/Eb                       C#6 
With the first drop of my blood in their veins 
      B6                  A#m7 
Their faces are convulsed in mortal pains. 
    E/G#               Ebm/F# 
The fairest cries, 'We all have loved you,  
Fm7/5- 
Rael'." 
 
Cm   Ab/C   Cm7      Ab/C  Bb6 
Each empty snakelike body floats, 
       Ab7+            Eb     Eb/D  
Silent sorrow in empty boats. 
Cm Ab/C  Cm7      Ab/C      Bb6 
A sickly sourness fills the room, 
           Ab7+                Eb    F 
The bitter harvest of a dying bloom. 
 
Gm          Dm       F7+    C7+      D 
Looking for motion I know I will not find, 
Gm           Dm        F7+     C7+      F7+       C7+/9   D 
I stroke the curls now turning pale, in which I'd lain entwined. 
 Gm Dm           Am/E        Em           Bm      F#m  C#m  G#m  
"Oh Lamia, your flesh that remains I will take as my food." 
A            E     A           E          F#m          C#m 
It is the scent of garlic that lingers on my chocolate fingers. 
 
( F#m  C#/F  Eb4/Bb  Bb  Ebm/Bb  Bb7  Bb ) 
 
Piano Solo: ( Eb7  C#7+/F  Eb7  C#7+/F  Eb7  Fm/Bb  C#m/F# ) 
 
B/Eb      C#6 
Looking behind me, 
    B6              A#m7 
the water turns icy blue,  
    E/G#                  Ebm/F#          Fm7/5- 
The lights are dimmed and once again the stage is set for you. 
 
( B/Eb  C#6  B6  A#m7  E/G#  Ebm/F#  Fm7/5- ) fade
