Here are the number of counts/beats for every chord to make it easier for you.
This will help you a lot if you want to play this song on piano.
When it says (Em-2) it means the Em is played for 2 counts/beats.
I've tried this way of writing chords for instrumental music before and it seems to work out well.

C G
I can feel it in my blood, I can hear it in my footsteps,
Am F
I can see it all around, that everywhere connections are breaking away,
G
And people know that something must change, must change,
C G
There are better men than I, who with courage and conviction
Am F
Are patrolling the lines, waking up the sleepers who will not decide,
G
And do not think there's anything wrong
Am F
But we are all living here in this beautiful world,
E Am
Sharing sunrises every day,
F G
We may have different lives, but for all of us here we will stay,
C F
We're living in one world, sleeping in one world,
C G
Dreaming in one world, and no-one's going anywhere,
C F
We're living in one world, working in one world,
C G F G Am
Breathing in one world, we're just the same as anyone, whooooo,
C G Am
I believe there is a God, but it doesn't mean that my God is greater than yours,
F
It only means we all have the right to believe,
G
'Cause nobody knows it for sure, for sure,
Am F
If there's a Heaven or Hell, or a sweet Paradise,
E Am
Or a place where we all meet again,
F G
'Cause with minimal change, everyone here is the same,
C F
We're living in one world, sleeping in one world,

Listen to the voice of millions calling me and you,
D G D A
Take good care of everywhere 'cause this is my home too,

Laughing in one world, crying in one world, hoping in one world, ooooh,

There she stood in an empty room, heard a voice from another time,
Am Em Bm Em Am
And the memories came rolling back of Leningrad in the war,
Em
For the girl in the photograph, much had changed in the years that passed,
Am Em Bm Em
But her longing for the boy she loved was still the same since the war,
D G Am B
It was a moonless night upon the road of life, when he'd held her to say goodbye,
Em Am B Em Am Em Am Em Am B
Many more would survive, for he stayed behind to help them live again,
Em
When they met at the garden gate, tears would fall from a deep embrace,
Am Em Bm Em
For she never knew what happened to the boy she loved in the war,
D G Am B
Back in those happy days, before the soldiers came, to break down the ones who remained,
Em Am B Em Am Em
And they only survived, who could learn to die, and live to fight again,
Em
Oh Leningrad...
Am Em Am Em B
Oh Leningrad...
Em
There they stood in an empty room, heard a voice from another time,
Am Em Bm Em
And their memories came rolling back of Leningrad in the war.

It's been a hard life, a hard fight,

But silver would not betray what's written in the sand,

In my father's eyes, my father's eyes,

Who will give to the world, the work he has begun,

Who will open the door to reveal the chosen one,

Am F G C
She had the grace of a dancer, pretty as the morning sun,
Am F G
Her days were filled with laughter, and when sixteen years had come,
Am F E7 Am
She went to work in the old house, and there she met her love,
F C F G
But he, the son, was high-born, and she, a village girl;
Am F G C
They met at night by the river, and there he pledged his love,
Am F G
And so it was for the summer, but by winter, all was done,
Am F E7 Am
For the word was out in the village that she would have his child,
F C F G
And the night before she left him, these words were in his heart,
C F G
When she said, "Love is all that we have, it is forever,
C F G
Love is all that we need, to be together,
C Am F G F C
Love is all that this world has to share, only love
C G
Can take us there;"
Am F G C
They found her clothes by the river, of her there was no trace,
Am F G
And for many years he mourned her, haunted by her face,
Am F E7 Am
So he set off over the ocean, these memories to escape,
F C
But the ship he sailed was ill-starred,
F G
and soon would meet its fate;
| Am G F C | F F F G |(2x)
Am F G C
They struck the rocks at midnight, in the grip of a roaring storm,
Am F G
And he found himself in the water with a woman and a boy,
Am F E7 Am
With a power that was more than human, he brought them to the shore,
F C F G
And her whisper in the darkness was a voice he'd heard before,
C F G
When she'd said, "Love is all that we have, it is forever,
C F G
Love is all that we need, to be together,
C Am F G
Love is all that this world has to share,
F C G
Only love can take us there;
| C C C C | F F F G | (2x) | C C C C | F F G G |
F C G
Only love
Am F G C
She had the grace of a dancer, and the father of her son.

Last night I dreamed again that I was by your side,

I felt your tender kiss, and with your lips on mine,

My world became, complete again,

Beneath the shadow of the mountain,

We were lovers till the dawn was on the sea,

I'll be with you when my soldier's work is done,

When the summer winds begin to blow,

That is when I will be sailing to my home,

To the olive trees and the golden corn,

That whispers in the fields up in the hills,

Beyond the place where I was born,

And here in Rome the talk is all about the war,

As men of Caesar we have heard those words before,
Am Em
And though I'm strong, my heart belongs,
B
Beneath the shadow of the mountain,
Em
And my lover who is waiting there for me,
C G
When the summer winds begin to blow,
D Em
That is when you'll see the sails that bring me home,
C G
To the olive trees and the golden corn

That whispers in the fields up in the hills,

Above Pompeii where I was born,

I will return

Beneath the shadow of Vesuvius,

We'll be together till the day we die.....

Last night I dreamed again that I was by your side.......

09. The Mirror of the Soul 9:15
Tabbed by: NBA96
Intro: Bm G Bm G Bm F# Bm F# Bm F# Bm
Bm F#m Bm
Brother, there's a man at the gate, he has something in his hand,
G
He says it fell down from the sky, should I let him in?
Bm
Maybe it's an omen, maybe it will take away our sin, our sin.....
Bm F#m Bm
'Tis a diamond that he has, the biggest one I've ever seen,
G
And when he holds it in his hand, it's shining like the sun,
A
He says it's from another world, he calls it the mirror of the soul,
D Bm G A D Bm G A
We must place it on the altar high, send the Devil to the fire,
E D A G G A Bm
Power over men we'll have when they see it shine, when they see it shine,
Bm F#m Bm
Brother, fetch the Abbot now, tell him of this wondrous thing,
G
Tell him that we'll have control of all the riches it will bring,
Bm
When people come to see it, for money we will purify their souls, their souls,
Bm F#m Bm
With my knife I'll kill this man, I'll send him to the Promised Land,
G A
And when we take the diamond, we will have the future in our hands, in our hands,
D Bm G A D Bm G A
When we place it on the altar high, send the Devil to the fire,
Em D A G G A D Bm G A D Bm G A D
Power over men we'll have when they see it shine, when they see it shine!
Bm
Bm D A G
That's how it started, that whole new religion, and people everywhere,
G D Em F#
Had to give up all their possessions at the Abb St. Pierre,
Bm D A E
But with their gold they could buy a redemption, and the promise of eternal life,
G D A
And the centre of it all was a diamond divine,
D Bm G A D Bm G A
It was up there on the altar high but for the monks it would not shine,
Em D A G A Bm
So with subterfuge they used the light of the sun, fooling everyone,
Bm D A G
It was late at night when a young boy was in there with his friends,
G D Em F#
And they dared him up to the altar, to touch the famous gem,
Bm D A E
And when he did, the whole place exploded with a great and wonderful light,
G D A
And the people came from everywhere to see,
D G A D G A
When he took it from the altar high, everyone could make it shine,
Em D A G
Except the Abbot and his men, for them, no light,
A D Bm G A D Bm G A Em D A G A D
They could not make it shine.
Dm Bb C
F C F Bb Dm Gm
And in the end, many heard the brothers, making confession of the,
Bb C
Things they had done,
F C F Bb F
And the Abbot led that sad procession, as they went through the,
C Bb C F
Gate past the place where it had begun
C Dm Bb C Bb
And all their dreams of glory, all their schemes and stories,
F Gm C
Would come to nothing after all,
Dm Bb Am Bb
Because a power greater from the world's creator,
F C Dm Bb
Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul,
F C F
Only love can light the mirror of the soul,
F C F Bb F Gm
All through the world, there are many others, who always follow
Bb C
Everything they are told,
F C F Bb F C
By men with rules and regulations, using old superstitions and
Bb C F
Tales to assume control,
C Dm Bb C Bb
But all their dreams of glory, all their schemes and stories,
F Gm C
Will come to nothing after all,
Dm Bb Am Bb
Because a power greater from the world's creator,
F C Dm Bb
Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul,
F C F Dm Bb C Bb
Only love can light the mirror of the soul,
F Gm C
They come to nothing after all,
Dm Bb Am Bb
Because a power greater from the world's creator,
F C Dm Bb
Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul,
F C F
Only love can light the mirror of the soul.

And so the play begins, and though it is the final night,

My heart will sing, just to be beside her now is everything,

And though it's a play I believe every word that I say,

'Cause I'm in love with her,

I am her Romeo, and every night my Juliet will have to go,

But nobody knows that tonight when the curtain falls,

She will be waiting at the door, we will not hide it anymore
F Bb Cm
No one can come between this love and destiny,
F Bb Eb C
With freedom there will be the sweetest kiss of all,
Bb F Bb F
And now the play is done, and there are those who do not know
C Bb A Dm
What has begun, and do not see that love should be for everyone,
Bb Ab
But to marry a man from a far-away land is not right,
Bb Eb
So she will be with me tonight, and for all this we will fight,
F Bb Cm
No one can come between our love and destiny,
F Bb Eb F Bb Cm
With freedom there will be the sweetest kiss of all,
F Bb Eb B Eb
With freedom there will be the sweetest kiss of all.
