♫ Intro:
Am7 F G
Am7 F G


♫ Chorus:
Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
F          G
High up in a chamber
Am7                  F           G
She painted pictures of the land that made her
Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
F           G
Shadowed by a clock face
Am7                F           G
The hands arrested at the time she came and
Am              G
When she peered outside
            Am        G
She saw the birds, so high
                  F
That she made a wish
                  G
To grow, one day, her own pair of wings

Instrumental Break:

Am F   Dm Em
Am F   Dm Em

♫ Verse 1:
                        F
She sailed long from afar
                         Am
To find herself in the world
                      F
When in the wind, she heard an island call
                           Am    G
And so she followed it and came ashore
                      F
On a beach with a crowd

"We waited hеre for you!"
                         Am
Then a voice said it was truе
        Bb              F
"We all prayed for a princess!”
            G
“You're the one heaven sent."


♫ Chorus:
Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
F          G
High up in a chamber
Am7                  F           G
She painted pictures of the land that made her
Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
F         G
Just to remember
        F           G
For the memory got lost in the dark
Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
F           G
Shadowed by a clock face
Am7                F           G
The hands arrested at the time she came and
Am7                    F         G
Though she showed the passing of the days
 F            Em                Am
Eternally a child she would remain


♫ Verse 2:
                       F
Before she felt any fear
                       Am
The air escaped into silence
                  Dm
She woke up lying on a gilded bed
                  Am     G
With half a dozen maids around her
       F
"We're keeping you safe in a tall place
              Am7                  Gm
Where you can see all the land you lead for us
   F
By God's decree
            E                Am7
Hail to the girl, our Queen!"


    F G
Am7 F G

♫ Bridge:
Am7                F
As the nights ran
    G                  Am7
Together blurring into years
                 F        G
Her brushstrokes never disappeared

Instrumental Break:
F   G
Am  Em
Dm Em F Ab G

♫ Chorus:
(n.c.)      F
Oh, ooh, oh
           G
High up in a chamber
Am7     F            Dm          Em
She painted pictures of the land that made her
Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
F         G
Just to remember
        F           G
For the memory got lost in the dark
Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
F           G            Am7
Shadowed by a clock face
          F        Dm          Em
The hands arrested at the time she came and
Am7                    F         G
Though she showed the passing of the days
 F            Em              F
Eternally a child she would remain


♫ Outro:
                     C            G          F
Until one day when a clatter rang through the hills
                             Em        Em7   F
They found her gone and a smashed-open windowsill
                       Em
A feather hung in the air
Em  Am  G    Gaug    Am        G6
And the once-stopped clock was ticking on

Am7 F  Dm Em
Am7 F  Dm Em
Am7 F  Dm Em
Am7 F  Dm G
