Intro:
------
Bb, Eb
Verse:
------
I caught sight of my reflection
Bb Eb
I caught it in the window
Bb
I saw the darkness in my heart
Eb
I saw the signs of my undoing
Bb
They had been there from the start
Eb
And the darkness still has work to do
Bb
The knotted chord's untying
Eb
The heated and the holy
Bb
Oh they're sitting there on high
Eb
So secure with everything they're buying
Bb Eb
Chorus:
-------
In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
Ab Eb Bb Cm
With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
Ab Eb Bb Cm
In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
Ab Eb Bb Cm
We wanted the the union oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man
Ab Eb Bb Ab/Bb Bb Fm/Bb Eb
...........
Bb Eb
[verse]
My grip is surely slipping
I think I've lost my hold
Yes I think I've lost my hold
I cannot get insurance any more
They don't take credit, only gold
Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see
You hold so tightly in your hand
And all the while the distance grows between you and me
I do not understand
[chorus]
In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
We wanted the the union oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man
Ab Eb Bb Ab/Bb Bb Fm/Bb Cm
Bridge:
-------
At my request you take me in
Cm Cm/Ab Bb Bb/G Cm/Ab
In that tenderness I am floating away
Cm Cm/Ab Bb Bb/G Cm/Ab Cm
No certainty, nothing to rely on
Cm/Ab Bb Bb/G Cm/Ab
Holding still for a moment
Cm Cm/Ab Bb Bb/G Cm/Ab
What a moment this is
F
Oh for a moment of forgetting
Cm/Ab
A moment of bliss
F
Oh....
Eb Bb, Eb
[verse]
I can hear the distant thunder
Of a million unheard souls
Of a million unheard souls
Watch each one reach for creature comfort
For the filling of their holes
[chorus]
In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
I feel the man in the woman and the woman in the man
In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
I feel the man in the woman and the woman in the man
Ab Eb Bb Cm
In the blood of Eden we have done everything we can
In the blood of Eden, so we end as we began
With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
It was all for the union, oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man
Ab Eb Bb Ab/Bb Bb Fm/Bb Cm

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PETER GABRIEL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
