~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Black Moon
Transcription by: Rainer Boettchers ([email protected])
Paderborn/Germany, July 1996
Tuning: EADGBE (Standard)
Comments: Again a .CRD file, again a simple transcription
(… beg your pardon, Greg …). Again I have tried
to preserve the timing for the chord changes.
Chords used here: Emaj 022100
Esus4 022200
Bmaj 224442
Emin 022000
F#min 244222
Gmaj 320003
Amaj x02220
Bmin x24432
Other chords shapes may be used instead. Listen to
the original song to find the bits and pieces.
And a 12string guitar is the best guitar for this song.

*** Intro:
Emaj Esus4 Emaj Esus4
*** Main theme:
Emaj
She looked at me across the room
Esus4
Emerging from a silk cocoon
Emaj Esus4
Alone beneath Venetian chandeliers
Emaj
Against the moon her body rocks
Esus4
Her eyes were cunning like a fox
Emaj Esus4
The wings of passion fly on all frontiers
*** Refrain:
Bmaj Emaj
>From this fire there’s no returning
Amaj
No escape your heart is burning
Bmaj Emaj
Love becomes a lethal weapon
Amaj
No one is too smart
Emaj … Esus4
In affairs of the heart …
Emaj … Esus4
In affairs of the heart
*** Main theme:
Emaj
Now upon the bridge she waits
Esus4
Dreaming of our tangled fates
Emaj Esus4
Her face was like a ghost with eyes of jade
Emaj
(I) fell just like a falling star
Esus4
A victim of this coup d’etat
Emaj Esus4
I could not see behind this masquerade
*** Refrain:
Bmaj Emaj
>From this fire there’s no returning
Amaj
No escape your heart is burning
Bmaj Emaj
Love becomes a lethal weapon
Amaj
(Be) careful where you start
Emaj … Esus4
In affairs of the heart …
Emaj … Esus4
In affairs of the heart …
Emin … F#min … Gmaj
In affairs of the heart
Amaj Emin … F#min … Gmaj
Sometimes I think I’ll never learn
Amaj Emin … F#min … Gmaj
Were all those promises in vain
Amaj Bmin … Amaj
Do the wings of fire still remain
… Emaj … Esus4 … Emaj … Esus4
*** Main theme:
Emaj
All is fair in love and war
Esus4
The tender draw the shortest straw
Emaj Esus4
Like autumn leaves they vanish in the air
Emaj
Is this the time we say goodbye
Esus4
I call her room there’s no reply
Emaj Esus4
Tonight we end this fleeting love affair
*** Refrain:
Bmaj Emaj
>From this fire there’s no returning
Amaj
No escape your heart is burning
Bmaj Emaj
Love becomes a lethal weapon
Amaj
Sharper than a dart
Emaj … Esus4
In affairs of the heart …
Emaj … Esus4
In affairs of the heart
Emaj … Esus4
In affairs of the heart …
… Emaj … Esus4
Emaj … Esus4
In affairs of the heart …
(fade out) … Emaj … Esus4 … Emaj … Esus4.
