Escape To The Royal Wood On Ice chords by Jack Bruce

F E Db E D (x2)

     G                     D         E
Come dancing on my stage
      F                       Db    Cm
My bullets have a silver lining
G                     D         E
Wind me up and set me free
      F               C
My uniform's bright...
    Eb                       Ab
Trumpets blaring, princes sharing,
     Eb                          G        C   F  G
Swords are flashing, kingdoms falling

        F                                  E
When you're dancing in the ballroom moonlight,
     Db                      Em    D
feet quicksilver lace My Lady
        F          A          E                           Db
When you lose yourself inside the city jungle
              Em                                       D
then you're pretty sure of finding a hiding place

 G                     D         E
Come stepping through my head
 F                       Db    Cm
My cloak will give us both protection
G                     D         E
Set me up upon your wall
      F               C
I'll dance all night long
    Eb                       Ab
Cannons roaring, banners soaring,
      Eb                          G        C   F  G
Lances flashing, blood is pouring?

        F                                  E
When you tremble at the dragons roaring
     Db                      Em    D
at the forest's door I'll hold you close My Lady
        F          A          E                           Db
When your house shakes at the jetplanes' howling
                              Em                                                         D
causing mousequakes in your cornflakes, then I'll be by your side.
        F                                  E
When you're knocking on the doors of death and
Db                      Em    D
rocking wolves in cradles scared of losing your Secret Rose

 G                     D         E
Accept my handkerchief
 F                       Db    Cm
Tears shining 'cause the show is over
G                     D         E
Take my arm and walk with me
      F               C
Together we're free
    Eb                       Ab
Brakes are screeching, statues preaching
      Eb                          G        C   F  G
Hoardings flashing, empires crashing

F E Db E D (x2)

        F                                  E
And the time is getting much too late
     Db                      Em    D
for more than dreaming new schemes for making the darkness bright...
        F          A          E                           Db
When you're moving in the ballroom moonlight
                              Em                                                         D
feet quicksilver lace My Lady...
        F                                  E
When you tremble at the dragons roaring

        F                                  E
at the forest's door I'll hold you close My Lady...
     Db                      Em    D
And the time is getting much too late
        F          A          E                           Db
for more than dreaming new schemes for making the darkness bright...
                              Em                                                         D
And the dreams are getting much too bad
        F                                  E
for more than trying to find a mountain to put them right...
