Mad About You
Sting
I’d like to thank Luke (lhaley@reed.edu) for his posting. I tried to find out
the rest of the chords and this is what I came up with...
The lyrics are correct, btw...
If you have any corrections to this, PLEASE let me know (or post them).

Am Am/C
A stone’s throw from Jerusalem
Fmaj7 Eaug
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
Am Am/C
And though a million stars were shining
Fmaj7 Eaug
My heart was lost on a distant planet
Am Am/C
That whirls around the April moon
Fmaj7 Eaug
Whirling in an arc of sadness
Am Am/C E Eaug
I’m lost without you I’m lost without you
Fmaj7 Dm7
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
Adim7 E
And fall into the sea
Am Am/G F E Am
I’m mad about you I’m mad about you
And from the dark secluded valleys
I heard the ancient songs of sadness
But every step I thought of you
Every footstep only you
And every star a grain of sand
The leavings of a dried up ocean
Tell me, how much longer? How much longer?
They say a city in the desert lies
The vanity of an ancient king
But the city lies in broken pieces
Where the wind howls and the vultures sing
These are the works of man
This is the sum of our ambition
It would make a prison of my life
If you became another’s wife
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free
I’m mad about you I’m mad about you
Cadd9 E7aug
And I have never in my life
Asus4
Felt more alone than I do now
A# F
Although I claim dominions over all I see
C/E
It means nothing to me
Dm7
There are no victories
Adim7 E E7
In all our histories, without love
A stone’s throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I’m lost without you I’m lost without you
Fmaj7 Dm7
And though you hold the keys to ruin
Adim7 E
Of everything I see
Fmaj7 Dm7
With every prison blown to dust,
Adim7 E
My enemies walk free
Fmaj7 Dm7
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
Adim7 E
And fall into the sea
Am Am/G F E Am
I’m mad about you I’m mad about you
