E5
Several years ago
Em6
In a foreign town
E
Far away from home
  E5-            E4
I met the count of Tuscany

E5
A young eccentric man
E7
Bred from royal blood
E6
Took me for a ride
E5+           F
Across the open countryside

Em/B  Em
      Get into my car
Em/C  Em
      Let's go for a drive
Em/B  Em
      Along the way
Bbº
      I'll be your guide
E4/A
      Just step inside

Em/B  Em
      Maybe you'll recall
Em/D  Em
      A cannibal curator
Em/C# Em                   Em/C            Bbº
      A character inspired by my brother's life

( Bm  Bbº  A )

E5
Winding through the hills
Em6
The city far behind
E
On and on we drove
     E5-              E4
Down narrow streets and dusty roads

E
At last we came upon
E7
A picturesque estate
E6
On sprawling emerald fields
   E5+            F
An ancient world of times gone by

Gm  A7   Dm
         Let me introduce
Gm  A7   Dm
         My brother
Gm  A7   Dm
         A bearded gentleman
Gm  A7   Dm
         Historian
Gm  A7   Dm
         Sucking on his pipe
Gm  A7   Dm
         Distinguished accent
Gm  A7   Dm
         Making me uptight
Gm  A7   Dm
         No accident

( G5 )

Cm               D#
I want to stay alive
             G#
Everything about this place
     Fm
Just doesn't feel right

Cm              D#
I,i don't wanna die
             G#                Aº

E5
Would you like to see
Em6
Out secret holy place?
E
I come here late at night
E5-             E4
To pray to him by candlelight

     E
Then peering through the glass
  E7
I saw with disbelief
      E6
Still dressed in royal clothes
    E5+            F
The saint behind the altar


E5
History recalls
Em6
During times of war
E
Legend has been traced
E5-             E4
Back inside these castle walls

      E
Where soldiers came to hide
   E7
In barrels filled with wine
E6
Never to escape
      E5+
These tombs of oak
F
Are where they died


Gm  A7   Dm
         Down the cellar stairs

Gm  A7   Dm
         I disappear

Gm  A7   Dm
         Like the angel's share

Gm  A7   Dm
         The end is near


Gm  A7   Dm
         Come and have a taste

Gm  A7   Dm
         A rare vintage

Gm  A7   Dm
         All the finest wines

Gm  A7   Dm
         Improved with age

The chapel and the saint

The fables and the tales

All handed down through time

Of course you're free to go
