The
legend of Xanadu
1. You'll hear my voice, on the wind, cross
the sand, if you should return
D G - C - G
to
that black, barren land, that bears the name of Xanadu.
2. Cursed, without hope, was the love that I
sought, lost from the start,
D G - C - G
was
the duel that was fought to win a heart in Xanadu.
Now
no footprints leave no traces
C
G
only
shadows move in places, where we used to go.
D
And
the buildings, open to the sky,
C G G7
all
echo with the vultures cry as if to show.
C D G C
Our
love was for a day, and doomed to pass away,
G - C G - C G - C - G
in
Xanadu, in Xanadu, in Xanadu!
G-C G-C G-C-G
Instr. : D-G D-G-G7
C-D-G-C in Xanadu, in
Xanadu, in Xanadu!
3. (Spoken) What was it to you that a man laid
down his life for your love?
G
Bm
Were
those clear eyes of yours ever filled with the pain of tears and grief?
C
G
Did
you ever give yourself to any one man in this whole wide world?
D G-C-G
Or
did you love me and will you find your way back one day to Xanadu ?
G-C G-C G-C G-C-G
4. = 1. + Xanadu, in Xanadu, in Xanadu, in Xanadu!
