There was a king who ruled the land.

  Bsus4Bsus4 Asus4Asus4 G6G6  F#sus4F#7sus4
His Majesty was in command.

   Bsus4Bsus4 Asus2Asus2  G6G6   F#sus4F#7sus4 Bsus4Bsus4 Asus2Asus2 G6G6   F#sus4F#7sus4
With silver eyes the scarlet eagle showered silver on the people.

G+G  D MajorD  A augmentedA    G+G  D MajorD E MajorE
Oh____, mother, tell me more.

N.C.
Why'd you have to leave me there,

             BB
Hanging in my infant air, waiting?

N.C.
You only have to read the lines of scribbly black and ev'rything shines.

 Bsus4Bsus4   Asus2Asus2    G6G6   F#sus4F#7sus4
Across the stream with wooden shoes,

Bsus4Bsus4  Asus2Asus2  G6G6    F#sus4F#7sus4
Bells to tell the king the news,

 Bsus4Bsus4  Asus2Asus2 G6G6   F#sus4F#7sus4 Bsus4Bsus4 Asus2Asus2 G6G6  F#sus4F#7sus4
A augmentedA thousand misty riders climb up higher once upon a time.

G+G   D MajorD    A augmentedA
Wondering and dreaming.

  G+G     D MajorD     E MajorE
The words have different meanings.

A augmentedA  G+G  E MajorE    F#F#
Yes, they did.


  Bsus4Bsus4  Asus4Asus4   G6G6   F#sus4F#7sus4
Of all the time spent in that room,

  Bsus4Bsus4    Asus2Asus2   G6G6   F#sus4F#7sus4
The doll's house darkness, old perfume,

  Bsus4Bsus4 Asus2Asus2  G6G6   F#sus4F#7sus4 Bsus4Bsus4   Asus2Asus2     G6G6 F#sus4F#7sus4
And fairy stories held me high on clouds of sunlight floating by.

G+G  D MajorD  A augmentedA    G+G  D MajorD E MajorE
Oh____, mother, tell me more.

A augmentedA  G+G E MajorE
Tell me more. (fade out to finish)
