(4x)
Em
1. A stone's throw from
C Am B7
I walked a lonely mile in the
moonlight,
Em
and though a million stars
were shining,
C
Am B7
my heart was lost on a distant
planet
Em
that whirls around the April
moon,
C Am
B7
whirling in
an arc of sadness.
Em Am
B7
I'm lost without you, I'm lost
without you.
C Am C B7
Though all my kingdoms turn to
sand, and fall into the sea,
Em C B7 - Em
I'm mad about you, I'm mad
about you.
Em
2. And from the dark
secluded valleys
C Am
B7
I heard the ancient songs of
sadness,
Em
but every step I thought of you,
C Am - B7
every
footstep only you.
Em
And every star a grain of sand,
C Am - B7
the leavings
of a dried up ocean.
Em
C B7
Tell me, how much longer? How
much longer?
Em
3. They see a city in
the desert lies,
C Am
B7
the vanity of an ancient king,
Em
but the city lies in broken
pieces,
C Am
B7
where the
wind howls and the vultures sing.
Em
These are the works of man,
C Am - B7
this is the sum of our ambition.
Em
It would make a prison of my
life,
C Am
- B7
if you
became another's wife.
C Am C B7
With every prison blown to dust,
my enemies walk free,
Em
C B7 - Em
I'm mad about you, I'm mad
about you.
G
B7 Em
And I have never in my life
felt more alone than I do now,
G7 C G
although I claim dominions
over all I see, it means nothing to me,
C
A
B7
there are no victories in all
our histories, without love.

C Am C
B7
And though you hold the keys
to ruin of everything I see,
C
Am C B7
with every prison blown to
dust, my enemies walk free.
C Am C B7
Though all my kingdoms turn to
sand, and fall into the sea,
Em
C B7 - Em
I'm mad about you, I'm mad
about you.
