Aida - How I Know You

	  		Mereb: 

  Am              F 
I grew up in your hometown 
   G              Am 
At least began to grow 
  F                G 
I hadn't got to my first shave 
G               C 
before the body blow 

 Dm              C 
Egyptians in the courtyard 
   F          G 
My family in chains 
    Am               F 
You witnessed our abduction 
      F            E 
Which possibly explains 

       Am         F 
How I know you 
F       G 
How I know you 

  Am                 F 
Before that fateful morning 
   G         Am 
My family enjoyed 
  F             G 
A privileged existence 
       G              C 
For my father was employed 

    Dm              C 
As advisor to the King no less 
        F             G 
Which surely rings a bell 
    Am               F 
For as your are his daughter 
      F            E 
You probably can tell 

       Am         F 
How I know you 
F       G 
Yes I know you 


Aida: 
     A# 
You know too much and what you say 
    Am 
Is better left unknown 
    A# 
And now I'm just a slave like you 
     C                A 
Our lives our not our own 


Mereb: 
  Dm           A# 
I never have abandoned 
    C                 Dm 
And nor I think could you 
      A#                C 
That spark of hope for freedom 
    C         F 
No terror can subdue 


Aida: 
   Gm            F 
My only hope is silence 
A#                   C 
You've never seen my face 


Mereb: 
   Dm            A# 
No you remain a princess 
   Gm           A 
In any time or place 


Aida: 
           Dm      A# 
You don't know me 


Mereb: 
A#       C 
Yes, I know you 


Aida: 
C          Dm 
You don't know me 

Mereb: 
A#     C 
How I know you 
C      Dm 
How I know you
