B                      A
I was standing by the Nile
B                    A
Whe I saw the lady smile.
B                            A            G#
I would take her out for a while, for a while.

C#                        B
Light tears wept like a child.
C#                               B
How her golden hair was blowing wild.
C#                                 B      A#
Then she spread her wings to fly, for to fly.

D#                       C#
Soaring high above the breezes,
D#                       C#
Going always where she pleases.
D#                      C#             C
She will make it to the island in the sun.

F                    D#
I will follow in her shadow
F                       D#
As I watch her from my window.
F                        D# D
One day I will catch her eye.

B                        A
She is calling from the deep
B                              A
Summoning my soul to endless sleep
B                        A
She is bound to drag me down
         G#
Drag me down
