Shape of My Heart - Sting from "Ten Summoner's Tales" album Transcription: Luis Ferreira This is NOT the way Dominic Miller plays it. I've got Sting's concert inOslo (1994) in videocassette and it is definitely harder than this. Dominic Miller uses an electric-shaped acoustic guitar, which makes iteasier to play in the high frets as he does. The names of the chords might not be correct, too.( If you want to play with the record, then use a capo on the 2nd fret )Intro: Em Bm Am B 0x2003 xx0x02 002210 223332e--3--------3-----|--2--------2-----|--0--------0-----|--0-----0--|--------|--B--------0-----0--|--------0-----0--|-----------------|-----------|--4-----|--G-----------------|-----------------|--------2-----2--|-----------|-----4--|--D--2--2-----------|--0--0-----------|-----------------|-----------|--------|--A-----------------|-----------------|--0--0-----------|--0--0-----|--2-----|--E-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------|--------|-- C/E Bm Am B 0x2013 xx0x02 002210 223332e--3--------3-----|--2--------2-----|--0--------0-----|--0-----0--|--------|--B--------1-----1--|--------0-----0--|-----------------|-----------|--4-----|--G-----------------|-----------------|--------2-----2--|-----------|-----4--|--D--2--2-----------|--0--0-----------|-----------------|-----------|--------|--A-----------------|-----------------|--0--0-----------|--0--0-----|--2-----|--E-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------|--------|-- C B C B7 ?

Shape of my heart
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades
That's not the shape, shape of my heart
And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man with too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Well, those who speak know nothin'
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost
That's not the shape of my heart
tłumaczenie:
Kolor mojego serca Rozdanie kart, to dla niego medytacja A ci co grają nigdy nie odgadną że Ten grosz co zgarnia - marna satysfakcja Uznanie, podziw – też nie liczą się Rozdaje karty, żeby w końcu znać odpowiedź Pojąć zaklętą geometrię szans Ukryte prawo liczb, prawdopodobieństw Numery rządzą tutaj - koniec, pas Ja wiem, że Piki dla żołnierza znaczą miecze Ja wiem, że Trefle to wojennej broni znak Ja wiem, że Karo znaczą forsę w owym Świecie Lecz moje serce całkiem inny kolor ma. On może wyjść waletem karo Położyć damę pik i nęcić Lub ukryć króla w dłoni – to nie czary Chwilowy zanik pamięci Ja wiem, że Piki dla żołnierza znaczą miecze Ja wiem, że Trefle to wojennej broni znak Ja wiem, że Karo znaczą forsę w owym Świecie Lecz moje serce całkiem inny kolor ma. Jeśli mówiłem, że Cię kocham Pewnie myślałaś – coś nie tak Nie zmieniam masek jak krawatów Ta maska to (jest) moja twarz. Cóż, ci co mówią nic nie wiedzą Lecz wnet poznają gry tej koszt Szczęście swe trwoniąc bez potrzeby lub w strachu tracąc los Ja wiem, że Piki dla żołnierza znaczą miecze Ja wiem, że Trefle to wojennej broni znak Ja wiem, że Karo znaczą forsę w owym Świecie Lecz moje serce całkiem inny kolor ma. tłumaczenie: Ryszard Wojtyński
