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

F#m     E        D     A
Welcome to this wonderworld

Everybody take your sledges
F#m   E        D    A
Winterland Plutocracy
E                     A
Down the slope don't fear the hedges

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

 Forever you'll hear it scream
Am         E
La-la-la-la...
