VERSE 1
 Db                                     Fm        
Once upon a time in the land of Sinaplenty

 Gb                               Gb5     F5    Eb5     Db5    
There lived a king who didn't deserve to be
F7                                
He knew not where he came from

 Gb                        
Nor where he was going

 A                                    Ab       
He never once said thank u, never please


VERSE 2
 Db                             Fm               
Now this king had a subject named Electra

 Gb                                   Gb5     F5    Eb5     Db5     
Who loved him with a passion uncontested        

 F7                                
4 him each day she had a smile

        Gb               
But it didn't matter

 A                                    Ab    
The king was looking 4 the ladder    


CHORUS 1
 Db                               Fm      
Everybody's looking for the ladder

 Gb                           Gb5     F5    Eb5     Db5  
Everybody wants salvation of the soul

     F7                                  Gb    
The steps you take are no easy road    

           A                                      Ab  
But the reward is great 4 those that want to go


VERSE 3
 Db                                        Fm    
A feeling of self worth will caress u    

 Gb                                          Gb5     F5    Eb5     Db5     
The size of the whole wide world will decrease         

 F7                                    Gb        
The love of God's creation will undress u

 A                                     Ab       
And time spent alone my friend will cease


CHORUS 2
 Db                               Fm       
Everybody's looking for the answers

 Gb                           Gb5     F5    Eb5     Db5      
How the story started and how it will end

 F7                                  Gb                 
   Whats the use in half a story    half a dream

   A                                   Ab    
U have to climb the steps inbetween   

 Db                               Fm      
Everybody's looking for the ladder

 Gb                           Gb5     F5    Eb5     Db5  
Everybody wants salvation of the soul

     F7                                  Gb    
The steps you take are no easy road    

           A                                      Ab  
But the reward is great 4 those that want to go
