A#m    G#      C#
Slowly fading blue
    G#       F#
The eastern hollows
A#m       G#     C#
Catch the dying sun
 G#         F#
Night-time follows
 A#m         G#  C#
Silence and black
 G#     F#
Mirror pool
A#m         G#      C#
Mirrors the lonely place
     G#      F#
Where I meet you

Chorus:
F        F#
See your head
        F      F#
In the fading light
      F         F#
And through the dark
      F           F#
Your eyes shine bright

    A#m        G#
And burn like fire
 C#       G#       F#
Burn like fire in Cairo
    A#m        G#
And burn like fire
 C#       G#       F#
Burn like fire in Cairo

Shifting crimson veil
Silken hips
Slide under my hand
Swollen lips
Whisper my name
And I yearn
You take me in your arms
And start to burn

F                F# G#
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F                F# G#
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F                F# G#
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
          F                   F#            A#m
And the heat disapear and the mirror fades away

F                F# G#
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O - x8

Chorus:

A#m          G#     C#
Burn like a fire in Cairo
G#              F#
Burn like a... fire fire fire
A#m          G#      C#
Blaze like a fire in Cairo
G#               F#
Blaze like a... fire fire fire
A#m  G# C# G# F#   F#   F#
Flare
    A#m        G#
And burn like fire
 C#        G#      F#
Burn like fire in Cairo
