I'd like to thank Luke (lhaley@reed.edu) for his posting. I tried to find out the rest of the chords and this is what I came up with... The lyrics are correct, btw... If you have any corrections to this, PLEASE let me know (or post them).

They say a city in the desert lies The vanity of an ancient king But the city lies in broken pieces Where the wind howls and the vultures sing These are the works of man This is the sum of our ambition It would make a prison of my life If you became another's wife With every prison blown to dust My enemies walk free I'm mad about you I'm mad about you Cadd9 E7aug And I have never in my life Asus4 Felt more alone than I do now A# F Although I claim dominions over all I see C/E It means nothing to me Dm7 There are no victories Adim7 E E7 In all our histories, without love A stone's throw from Jerusalem I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight And though a million stars were shining My heart was lost on a distant planet That whirls around the April moon Whirling in an arc of sadness I'm lost without you I'm lost without you Fmaj7 Dm7 And though you hold the keys to ruin Adim7 E Of everything I see Fmaj7 Dm7 With every prison blown to dust, Adim7 E My enemies walk free Fmaj7 Dm7 Though all my kingdoms turn to sand Adim7 E And fall into the sea Am Am/G F E Am I'm mad about you I'm mad about you Chords used: Am 002210 Am/C 032210 Fmaj7 033210 ( but you might prefer to play it as 132211 ) Eaug 132111 E 022100 Dm7 x00211 Adim7 x01212 Am/G 302210 ( or should it be G6 320000 ? figure it out! :) ) F 133211 Cadd9 032030 E7aug 032130 Asus4 002230 A# 113331 C/E 032010 E7 020100 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | "You see a city in the desert lies | | Luis Ferreira | The vanity of an ancient king | | | But the city lies on broken pieces | | sd021@diana.fc.ul.pt | Where the wind howls and the vultures sing" | | | Sting - The Soul Cages | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank-you Luis Ferreira, and others, for your postings. I brought it all down a half-step in order to play along with the CD. I retabbed the intro and the chords, and added the guitar equivalent for the clarinet solo and the fills. Your comments & revisions are encouraged.
