Lirik dan Chord Lagu The Book of Numbers - Sting

And finds a vacant hook

Am         G           C

Turns back towards the traveller

          F

His right hand on an old black book

 

[Chorus]

Am       G       Dm

The holy Book of Numbers

  Dm            G                 Am

I take it's something that you've read?

Am       G             Dm

The long search in the wilderness

Dm             G      F

For a place to lay my head

 

[Verse 2]

Am          G           C

So many parables in the scriptures

    Am           G               C

But this one I'm doomed to tell

    Am        G           C

For I stormed the gates of Heaven

   Am     G            C

To find myself in Hell

Am         G      C

This is my lonely mission

   Am             G              C

To wake the world up to its fate

Am           G           C

To dismantle my own invention

        Am              G     F  Dm

For the hour is getting late

 

[Chorus]

Am        G       Dm

This holy Book of Numbers

      Dm               G               Am

As we walk through the shadow of death

Am       G                  Dm

Tell me, are you listening, boy

   Dm        G          Am

Or am I just wasting my breath?

          Am           G               C

There are fools in the courts of power

           Dm                  G                    Am

While I've walked through this vale of bitter tears

       Am         G         C

At the mercy of recording angels

          Dm               G          F

For three score and twenty-five years

 

[Outro]

    Am      G                C

The barkeep gets up from the table

   Am              G     C

To fill up another glass

   Am              G             C

He turns around to find an empty chair

           Am          G           C

All that's left is the name in his hat
