G

[Verse 1]

Anastasia, woman in the cold of the desert night
    Em                                   G
The fire in the cave is burning hard and bright

Three days her lover hunted on the plains
Em                                         G
She never knew if he would ever come home again


[Verse 2]
             C
So she could feed the flame of love and then

Hold him in her arms again
D
Make the demons all depart

Heal the wounds that break the heart


[Chorus]
            G                C
A love that lasts is hard to find
         Bm                  C
Like the harmony in an old design
        Em             D
But the love of a good woman
    G              C
The love of a good woman
D                  G
Stands the test of time


[Verse 3]

Woman on a cliff at the break of a winter's day
  Em                                    G
A baby at her breast and her lover far away

Watches the horizon for the curving sails to rise
 Em                                     G
Across the water and through the stormy skies


[Verse 4]
     C
He returns at last from the battle field

Where death has marched with a Christian shield
       D
She'll make the demons all depart

Heal the wounds that break the heart


[Chorus]
            G                C
A love that lasts is hard to find
         Bm                  C
Like the harmony in an old design
        Em             D
But the love of a good woman
    G              C
The love of a good woman
D                  G
Stands the test of time


[Bridge]
    Bb                             Eb
The brittle will be broken and the supple will survive
        Bb                             Eb
Men are born to fight in armour, women born to stay alive
       Gm            Eb               Ab                   D
Behind every veil of tears there is a sister of a thousand years


[Verse 5]
G
High in a canyon where the city meets the stars
   Em                                                  G
My face against the window and my dreams that reach so far

Back to the women whose spirits so fierce and fine
      Em                                        G
Whose warriors fought for a love like yours and mine


[Verse 6]
    C
Oh, we are all the guardians

And everyday we start again
   D
To make the demons all depart

Heal the wounds that break the heart


[Chorus]
            G                C
A love that lasts is hard to find
         Bm                  C
Like the harmony in an old design
        Em             D
But the love of a good woman
    G              C
The love of a good woman
D                  G
Stands the test of time


[Chorus]
                             C
A love that lasts is hard to find
         Bm                  C
Like the harmony in an old design
        Em             D
But the love of a good woman
    G              C
The love of a good woman
D                  G
Stands the test of time


[Chorus]       (fade to end)
                             C
A love that lasts is hard to find
         Bm                  C
Like the harmony in an old design
        Em             D
But the love of a good woman
    G              C
The love of a good woman
D                  G
Stands the test of time
