Rosemary Chords & Lyrics - Suzanne Vega

[VERSE 1]
[F#m] Do you remember when you w[D]alked with me
[E] Down the street into the sq[D]uare
[F#m] How the women selling r[D]osemary
[E] Pressed the branches to your c[D]hest

Promised luck and all the rest
[E]Put their fingers in your h[D]air

[VERSE 2]
[F#m] I had met you just the d[D]ay before
[E] Like an accident of f[D]ate
[F#m] In the window there beh[D]ind your door
[E] How I wanted to break [D]in

To that room beneath your skin
[E]But all that would have to w[D]ait

[CHORUS]
In the [F#m]Carmen of the Martyrs
With the [D]statues in the courtyard
Whose [G]heads and hands were taken
In the [A]burden of the sun
I [F#m]had come to meet you
With a [D]question in my footsteps
I was [G]going up the hillside
And the [A]journey just begun

[VERSE 3]
[F#m] My sister says she never d[D]reams at night
[E] There are days when I know w[D]hy
[F#m] Those possibilities wit[D]hin her sight
[E] With no way of coming t[D]rue

Cause some things just don't get through
[E]Into this world although they t[D]ry

[CHORUS]
In the [F#m]Carmen of the Martyrs
With the [D]statues in the courtyard
Whose [G]heads and hands were taken
In the [A]burden of the sun
I [F#m]had come to meet you
With a [D]question in my footsteps
I was [G]going up the hillside
And the [A]journey just begun

[OUTRO]
And[F#m] all__ I k[D]now__ of y[G]ou__
Is in my m[A]emory__
And [F#m]all__ I [D]ask__ is y[G]ou__
Remember [A]me__
