Winding on that snakey road
A minorAm   C majorC   C/BC/B
Winding on forever
A minorAm   C majorC    C/BC/B  A minorAm
Winding on that snakey road

And in the clearing...

MAIN RIFF (see bottom of tab)
I'm going to build me a palace of bone

No innocent soul

Who can't come and live in the palace of bone
