Speedhoven chords by Edguy

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

F#m   E    D   A
Welcome to this wonderworld
E     A
Everybody take your sledges
F#m  E    D  A
Winterland Plutocracy
E           A
Down the slope don't fear the hedges
A     C    G
Everybody in their box
F       G
Waiting under rights of action
A          C     G
Raise your heads and hold your breath
F          G
I can't stand your putrefaction
A        C    G
I can smell your brain decay
F        G
As you look down at the stage and
A        C   G
Drive me mad and then insane
Am   C G  Am
Welcome to the show

F#m
 You've been waiting for the one
   D        A   E
To bring you joy and ecstasy
F#m
 And you've been waiting for a song
      D         A  E
And you demand to feel the tragedy

        A    E    F#m
But when it's right out of control
              D
And it's not your song anymore
             A
And you are ready to forget
               E
The truth that you'd been asking for
F#m           D
I'm not afraid to sacrifice
               E
And I don't care bout your advice
             Bm B
As I spread my wings and fly
A        C#m          A
 No love - it's pain you've come to feed
       E         B
In mental strain I crawl and bleed
You make me please
Am    G   C
 Forever roaming
G     Am
You will hear it scream
   F      G
The cries of Speedhoven
Am    G   C
 Forever roaming
G    Am
Every starless night
     E
You will hear the cries

F#m
 You'll never get:
      A   D         E
I'll never be the one that you want me to be
F#m               D
 And all the treasures that you hold
              E
All your diamond rings and gold
All your flake and look and tongue
     A    E   F#m
I have tried and it was wrong
       D      F#m
You tried to push me up a notch
      D         E
But all I made was an itchy crotch
Fornication, ass galore
     A   E    F#m
I wanted love and I want more
      D       F#m
Muckrakers waiting for the prey
      D     E
Muckrakers want me to obey
But you will never own me
B
Though you pay
A       C#m
This opera is haunted they will say
A           C#m         B
 That's where they've driven the light insane

Am    G   C
 Forever roaming
G     Am
You will hear it scream
   F      G
The cries of Speedhoven
Am    G   C
 Forever roaming
G    Am
Every starless night
     E
You will hear the cries
Am    G   C
 Forever roaming
G    Am
You will hear it scream
  F       G
The cries of Speedhoven
Am   G    C  G F
 Forever you'll hear it scream
Am     E
La-la-la-la...

F#m               D
 In a cold winter night I had a vision
        A
Taking me by my hand
         E
Leading me to the door
            F#m
To rescue me from the wastelands
          C#m  D
The glance of the shining ivories
               A
A world that they can't understand
           E
Out of sound, out of reason
                F#m
The voice of their laughter was gone
    D        A
Taken away, time for a change
      E
I'm walking over
     F#m     D
Flying away, flying away
    A
Dying into another world
      E
Pure and divine
         F#m
And the laughter dies
