1. I caught sight of my reflection
   A
   I caught it in the window
   D
   I saw the darkness in my heart
   A                           D
   I saw the signs of my undoing
   A                                D
   They had been there from the start
   A                                   D
   And the darkness still has work to do
   A                         D
   The knotted chord's untying
   A
   They're heated and they're holy
   D
   Oh they're sitting there on high
   A                                      D
   So secure with everything they're buying

    A                      D/F#
    Lie the woman and the man
    G              D
    With the man in the woman
    A                    D/F#
    And the woman in the man
    G        D
    In the blood of Eden
    A                       D/F#
    Lie the woman and the man
    G        D
    We wanted the union
    A                       Asus
    Oh the union of the woman
    A                   D
    The woman and the man

2. My grip is surely slipping
   I think I've lost my hold
   Yes, I think I've lost my hold
   I cannot get insurance anymore
   They don't take credit, only gold
   Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see
   You hold so tightly in your hand                                                 
   And all the while the distance 
   grows between you and me
   I do not understand

R1: In the blood of Eden...
   
   Bm                A        Bm
*: At my request, you take me in
   A                           Bm
   In that tenderness, I am floating away
   A                        Bm
   No certainty, nothing to rely on
   A
   Holding still
   Bm
   For a moment
   E
   What a moment this is
   Bm
   Oh for a moment of forgetting
   E   Esus     E2
   A moment of bliss
   D                 A
   Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

3. I can hear the distant thunder
   A
   Of a million unheard souls
   D
   Of a million unheard souls
   A                                       D
   Watch each one reach for creature comfort
   A                            D
   For the filling of their holes

    I feel man in the woman
    A                    D/F#
    And the woman in the man  (2x)

R1: In the blood of Eden
    We've done everything we can
    In the blood of Eden
    Saw the end as we began
    With the man in the woman
    And the woman in the man
    It was all for the union 
    Oh, the union of the woman,          
    the woman and the man.
