PJ Harvey - The Dancer: chords

        Am                  Dm                   E
He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
         Am                      Dm               E
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
         Am                   Dm             E
He came bathed in light and splendor and glory
          Am                       Dm           E
I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me

He said, "Dance for me, fanciulla gentile"
He said, "Laugh awhile, I can make your heart feel"
He said, "Fly with me, touch the face of the true god
And then cry with joy at the depth of my love"

Chorus:
Am                      Dm
Cause I've prayed days, I've prayed nights
E
For the lord just to send me home some sign
Am                Dm
I've looked long, I've looked far
E                                     Am
To bring peace to my black and empty heart

My love will stay 'till the river bed run dry
And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky
I love him longer as each damn day goes
The man is gone and heaven only knows

Chorus:
'Cause I've cried days, I've cried nights
For the lord just to send me home some sign
Is he near? Is he far?
Bring peace to my black and empty heart
So long day, so long night
Oh lord, be near me tonight
Is he near? Is he far?
Bring peace to my black and empty heart
