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

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

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
