Chris de Burgh - The mirror of the soul

Br^Bmother, there's a man at the gate, h^F#me has something in his h^Bmand, He says it fell down from the sky, should I let him ^Gin? Maybe it's an omen, maybe it will take away our s^Bmin, our sin.....

'T^Bmis a diamond that he has, the b^F#miggest one I've ever s^Bmeen, And when he holds it in his hand, it's shining like the s^Gun, He says it's from another world, he calls it the mirror of the s^Aoul,

We must pl^Dace it ^Bmon the ^Galtar h^Aigh, s^Dend the D^Bmevil^G to the f^Aire, P^Eower over m^Den we'll have when they s^Aee it sh^Gine, wh^Gen they s^Aee it sh^Bmine,

Br^Bmother, fetch the Abbot now, t^F#mell him of this wondrous th^Bming, Tell him that we'll have control of all the riches it will br^Ging, When people come to see it, for money we will purify their s^Bmouls, their souls,

W^Bmith my knife I'll kill this man, I'll s^F#mend him to the Promised L^Bmand, And wh^Gen we take the diamond, we will have the future in our h^Aands, in our hands,

When we pl^Dace it ^Bmon the ^Galtar h^Aigh, s^Dend the D^Bmevil^G to the f^Aire, P^Emower over m^Den we'll have when they s^Aee it sh^Gine, wh^Gen they s^Aee it sh^Dine^Bm! ^{G A D Bm G A D}

That's how it st^Bmarted, that whole new relig^Dion, and p^Aeople everywh^Gere, Had to g^Give up all their possess^Dions at the ^EmAbb St. Pierr^F#e, But with their g^Bmold they could buy a red^Demption, and the pr^Aomise of eternal life^E, And the c^Gentre of it all was a d^Diamond div^Aine,

It was ^Dup there ^Bmon the ^Galtar h^Aigh but f^Dor the m^Bmonks it w^Gould not sh^Aine, S^Emo with subterf^Duge they used the l^Aight of the s^Gun, fooling ^Aevery^Bmone,

It was l^Bmate at night when a young b^Doy was ^Ain there with his fr^Giends, And they d^Gared him up to the alt^Dar, to t^Emouch the famous gem^F#, And when he d^Bmid, the whole place expl^Doded with a gr^Aeat and wonderful l^Eight, And the p^Geople came from ^Deverywhere to se^Ae,

When he t^Dook it from the ^Galtar h^Aigh, ^Deveryone could m^Gake it sh^Aine, Exc^Emept the Abbot ^Dand his men, for th^Aem, no l^Gight, They could not m^Aake it sh^Dine.^{Bm G A D Bm G A Em D A G A D}

^F And in the ^Cend,^F many heard the br^Bbothers^Dm, making conf^Gmession of the, Th^Bbings they had d^Cone, ^F And the Abbot l^Ced^F that sad proc^Bbession, as they w^Fent through the, G^Cate past the pl^Bbace where it h^Cad beg^Fun

And ^Call their dr^Dmeams of gl^Bbory, all their sch^Cemes and stor^Bbies, ^F Would come to n^Gmothing after ^Call, Because a p^Dmower gr^Bbeater from the w^Amorld's creat^Bbor, Gave us l^Fove to light the m^Cirror of the s^Dmoul,^Bb Only l^Fove can light the m^Cirror of the s^Foul,

^F All through the w^Corld,^F there are many ^Bbothers,^F who always f^Gmollow Everyth^Bbing they are t^Cold, ^F By men with r^Cules^F and regul^Bbations, us^Fing old superst^Citions and T^Bbales to ass^Cume contr^Fol,

But ^Call their dr^Dmeams of gl^Bbory, all their sch^Cemes and st^Bbories, ^F Will come to n^Gmothing after ^Call, Because a p^Dmower gr^Bbeater from the w^Amorld's creat^Bbor, Gave us l^Fove to light the m^Cirror of the s^Dmoul,^Bb Only l^Fove can light the m^Cirror of the s^Foul,^{Dm Bb C Bb F} They come to n^Gmothing after ^Call, Because a p^Dmower gr^Bbeater from the w^Amorld's creat^Bbor, Gave us l^Fove to light the m^Cirror of the s^Dmoul,^Bb Only l^Fove can light the m^Cirror of the s^Foul.
