Cm7
The palace guards are all sleeping
Their fires burn into the night
There's a threat of rain on the dark horizon
And all that's left is a quarter moon of light
Cm7
He climbs up through the darkness
No weapon but his surprise
The greatest thief in the high Sahara
Eb G5
Enters the room where the sleeping princess lies
Cm7
All your money, your pretty necklace
F
This is my work on such a night
Eb
There's a storm coming over the mountain
G5
I'll be gone long before the morning
F Bb/F F
After the rain has fallen
Eb Db Eb
After the tears have washed your eyes
F Bb/F
You'll find that I've taken nothing that
Eb Db
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye
Cm7
He was as gentle as the night wind
As no lover had been before
And the rings she wore for her bridegroom
Eb G5
Slipped from her finger and fell to the floor
Cm7
Take me with you, take me with you
F
Before my lonely life is set
Eb
I've been promised to another
G5
To a man I've never even met
F Bb/F F
After the rain has fallen
Eb Db Eb
After the tears have washed your eyes
F Bb/F
You'll find that I've taken nothing that
Eb Db
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye
F Bb/F F
After the thunder's spoken and
Eb Db Eb
After the lightning bolt's been hurled
F Bb/F F
After the dream has broken, there'll
Eb
Still be love in the world

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 STING 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.
