When The Dragon Came Down chords by Shel

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
G             Am               F
Lay your head down, close your eyes
G                    Am           F
Sleeping on a golden bed, cold as ice


Instrumental:
C (x4)


Chorus:
F                Am
Oh is she really gone
                C
I lost my queen along with my crown
         Em
When the Dragon came down
F                 Am
Oh deep within my sleep
                C
Awakened by the sound of her scream
    Em                      Bb     Am
The Dragon came down like a dream

Riff:
Bb
The news gets worse every day
Am
Read my paper pull my weight
F                  Em
Head buried in the sand
Bb
Truth can free a common man
Am
Wisdom take me by the hand
F            Em
Help me understand
    Em
The Dragon came down


Verse 2:
G           Am          F
See the sun rise in the East
G       Am                  F
   Evil wakes when the king sleeps


Chorus:
F                Am
Oh is she really gone
                C
I lost my queen along with my crown
         Em
When the Dragon came down
F                 Am
Oh deep within my sleep
                C
Awakened by the sound of her scream
    Em                      Bb     Am
The Dragon came down like a dream


Riff:
Bb
The news gets worse every day
Am
Read my paper pull my weight
F                  Em
Head buried in the sand
Bb
Truth can free a common man
Am
Wisdom take me by the hand
F            Em    C
Help me understand


Bridge:
         Em                Am
You're a man with a broken soul
         Em             Am
You're a king who rules alone
         Em                Am
You're a cripple without a home
         Em               C
You're a bird struck by a stone
       Bb                F
Better cut my tongue out now
         Bb                  F
Before I speak the truth too loud
           Bb                 F
Before the hope we've lost is found
           Bb               F       Am     F       Am
Before the world is wakened by this sound, by this sound
         Em
When the Dragon came down



Refrain:

F                Am
Oh is she really gone
                C
I lost my queen along with my crown
         Em     C    Am
When the Dragon came down
