The Doll House chords by Phil Ochs

D      G     D
Lost in the valley of vaults/dolls/Oz(?)
G       D      G    D
Fell from the path, it was nobody's fault
   Bm   A
That I was alone.
D  G        D
Time dripped from the trees
G           - D
Left through the nail      (I leapt through a lamp/land/lap/laugh(?) (?))
 G     D   G     A
I fell to my knees before the throne
         Bm      G      Bm
And the crown was covered jewels, sparkling schools
       A
The beautiful fauns/falls/(?)
  G           A
The magnificent battle was fought
    Bm     G        A
And Cinderella's soldier fish was caught
    Bm      A
And the lady from the lake
  Bm       A
Who helped me to escape
G      Em   A
Led me to myself at last
     Em       A      Bm     /A/D
Though I danced with the dolls in the doll house

G  D   G      D
The flower fled from my feet,
G     D         G      D
Tom Sawyer voice through the hole of the key,
Bm    A
Landed so gently.
D     G      D
Castles cover the cave,
G    D      G      D
I had no choice, the visions were brave
    Bm      A
And the phantoms were friendly,
  Bm        G
And Pirate Jenny was dancing for pennies,
  Bm            A
The knucklebones tossed in a spin,
      G          A
There were silver songs on her skin.
  Bm        G         A
And she wasn't caring when the ship came in.

    Bm      A
And the lady from the lake
  Bm       A
Who helped me to escape
G      Em   A
Led me to myself at last
     Em       A      Bm     /A/D
Though I danced with the dolls in the doll house

  D    G       D
My costume dropped to the floor,
G    D        G     D
Naked at last, I couldn't fight any-more,
    Bm     A
And the service was rendered.
  D  G       D   G     D
A poem fell from the wine, buried the past.
  G     D      Bm     A
The future was mine and the present sur-rendered.
    Bm        G
And the ballet master is beckoning faster,
  Bm      A       G         A
The ballerina was posed, in the fragile beauty we froze.
  Bm       G        A
Let go, let go, let go, let go, let go.


    Bm      A
And the lady from the lake
  Bm       A
Who helped me to escape
G      Em   A
Led me to myself at last
     Em       A      Bm     /A/D
Though I danced with the dolls in the doll house
