A minorAm      E minorEm         C majorC       G/BG/B      A minorAm
So many years ago, many more than I'd even care to bear in my mind
       E minorEm        G+G    D/F#D/F#
From the darkest of all places I found you
A minorAm   E minorEm          C majorC      G/BG/B        A minorAm
All the limbs in their right places and a heart made of real gold
       E minorEm       G+G     D/F#D/F#
Sell me your little doll, oh sir, I ask you kind


C majorC   E minorEm   Dadd11   C majorC        E minorEm       Dadd11    C majorC
Every night I returned to watch them- The master and the puppet in the show
      E minorEm Dadd11  C majorC           E minorEm Dadd11     C majorC
He said "Oh no, I cannot sell him. Priceless he is, masterpiece of mine."


    A minorAm      E minorEm     C majorC      G/BG/B
Please sell me your puppet, sir, name your price oh please!
  A minorAm      E minorEm   G+G        D/F#D/F#
Whatever you may ask, tenfold the price I pay
A minorAm    E minorEm       C majorC       G/BG/B
Did I not make it clear? This debate is over
    A minorAm  E minorEm       G+G     D/F#D/F#
I will never part from this puppet, my son


C majorC      E minorEm   Dadd11    C majorC          E minorEm       Dadd11    C majorC
With hungry eyes I followed them all night, the blind master and the puppet he had made
  E minorEm   Dadd11     C majorC         E minorEm     Dadd11    C majorC
No, sir, to sell is not my will! The doll is mine, even if I have to kill

Bb majorBb     DmDm   C majorC        Bb majorBb   DmDm       C majorC      Bb majorBb
So it shall be, if this is what it takes. Greed is truly blinder than me
     DmDm  C majorC      Bb majorBb        DmDm     C majorC       Bb majorBb
Heart of gold is what you wish for? So this little boy wants to be a puppet, for real

Bb majorBb DmDm C majorC FF Bb majorBb DmDm C majorC G+G


C majorC       Dadd11 D5D5
So I have the golden heart
C majorC    Dadd11   BB    D5D5
Now only needing the voice of the master
C majorC     G/BG/B  Dadd11    E MajorE
Never feel hunger, never grow older
  C majorC      D5D5  BB           A minorAm
My dream was to be a star in a real puppet show

A minorAm   Am6Am6   A minorAm     DmDm     Esus4Esus4  E MajorE    G minorGm
It's so hard to remember my life.. The times before the show
   Gm6Gm6 G minorGm     C minorCm    Dsus4Dsus4      D MajorD          A minorAm
Can I ever cut off the strings? "Take a bow, now dance and sing..." (Sing!)
     Am6Am6   A minorAm  DmDm        Esus4Esus4  E MajorE    G minorGm
Would you turn me to a child again? "No, never, I am your guide"
    Gm6Gm6     G minorGm     C minorCm
You can see a small grin on the face
    F5F5   DmDm    G5G5    E minorEm
Of the master, when the puppet's in his place


  A minorAm                      E MajorE  G+G
Be careful what you wish for, wishes might come alive
(G+G)                      E MajorE A minorAm
The twines are pulling me every day and night
(A minorAm)                            E MajorE  G+G
The show, the glitter and all the fame, I'd give away for a life
(G+G)
Some things can end with a word, they say
              E MajorE   A minorAm
This only ends with a sharp knife (Knife!)
