Intro 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
Verse 1
(D major) 16 years,
(E minor) 16 (G major) banners united (D major) over the (E minor) field
Where the good (C major) shepherd grieves
(D major) desperate men (E minor)
Desperate wo (G major) men divided
(D major) spreading their wing (E minor) s
Beneath the falling (C major) (D major) leaves (G major)
Fortune (E minor) calls, I step forth (G major) from the shad
(D major) ows to the market (E minor) place
Merchants and (C major) thieves hungry for power (D major) ,
my last deal gone (E minor) down
She's smelling sweet (G major) like the mead
(D major) ows where she was (E minor) born
On
Midsummer's
(C major) Eve, near (D major) the tower (G major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (C major) (D major)
(G major)
A cold -blooded (E minor) moon
The captain wait (G major) s above
the celebration
(D major) He's sending his (E minor) thoughts to
a (C major) beloved maid (D major) en
Whose ebony face (E minor) is bey
(G major) ond communication
(D major) The captain's down, (E minor)
still believing that his
And love (C major) will (D major) be repaid
(G major) They shaved her (E minor) head
She was torn between
(G major) Jupiter and
Apollo
(D major) A messenger ar (E minor) rived
With a black (C major) night (E minor) ingale
(D major) I (E minor) seen her on the stairs
And I (G major) could not help but fol (D major) low
Follower down (E minor) past the fountain
where they (C major) lifted (D major) her (G major) veil
I stumbled to my feet (E minor)
I rode (D major) past destruc (G major) tion
In the (D major) ditches with the stitches
(E minor) Still mending beneath a heart
(C major) -shaped tattoo
(D major) Renegade (E minor) priests and
(G major) treacherous young (D major) witches
Go ahead and hang (E minor) out the flowers,
flowers that (C major) I've given (D major) to you (G major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (C major)
(G major) (D major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
The palace of (E minor) mirrors,
where dark soldier (G major) s are reflec (D major) ted
The endless road, (E minor)
and the wailing (C major) (E minor) of chimes
(D major) The empty room (E minor) s,
where a (G major) memory is protected
(D major) Where the (E minor) angels' voices whisper
to the souls (C major) of (D major) previous times (G major)
She wakes him up (E minor) 48 hours later (G major)
The sun is break (D major) ing near
broken chain (E minor) s
Mountain and (C major) wall and rolling rock
(D major) She's begging to know (E minor)
(D major) What meas (G major) ures he now will be tak (D major) ing
He's pulling her down (E minor)
And she's clutching onto his
(C major) long (D major) golden lock (G major) s
Gentleman, he (E minor) said
I don't need (G major) your organization
(D major) I've shined your shoes
(E minor) I've moved your moun (C major) tains
and marked your card (D major) s
But even in
His (E minor) burning
Either brace yourself (G major) for elimination
(D major) Or else your (E minor) hearts must have the courage
For the chan (C major) ging of (D major) the god (G major) s
Peace will (E minor) come
With tran (G major) quility and splendor (D major) on the wheels
of (E minor) fire
But we'll bring (C major) no reward
(D major) when our false idols
(E minor) fall
And cruel (G major) death surrender (D major) s with its pale
(E minor) Ghost retreatin' between the (C major) king and the (D major) queen of (G major) swords (D major)
(E minor) (G major) (D major) (E minor) (C major)
(D major) (E minor) (G major) (D major) (E minor) (C major) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (G major)
Thank watching!
