FAm
Sixteen years,
SOL# MIb FAmSixteen banners united over the fields
While the good shepherd grieves
FAm SOL# MIbDesperate men, desperate women divided,
FAm DO# MIb SOL#Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves.
FAm
Fortune calls.
I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace,
DO# MIb FAmMerchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down.
SOL# MIb FAmShe's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born,
On midsummer's eve, near the tower.
(Interlude)
The cold-blooded moon.
SOL# MIbThe captain waits above the celebration
FAm DO# MIbSending his thoughts to a beloved maid
Whose ebony face is beyond communication.
FAm DO# MIb SOL#The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.
FAm
They shaved her head.
SOL# MIbShe was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.
A messenger arrived with a black nightingale.
FAm SOL# MIbI seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow,
FAm DO# MIb SOL#Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.
(Interlude)
FAm
I stumbled to my feet.
I rode past destruction in the ditches
FAm DO# MIbWith the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo.
FAm SOL# MIbRenegade priests and treacherous young witches
Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.
The palace of mirrors
SOL# MIbWhere dog soldiers are reflected,
FAm DO# MIbThe endless road and the wailing of chimes,
The empty rooms where her memory is protected,
FAm DO# MIb SOL#Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times.
(Interlude)
FAm
She wakes him up
SOL# MIbForty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking
Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks.
FAm SOL# MIbShe's begging to know what measures he now will be taking
FAm DO# MIb SOL#He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks.
FAm
Gentlemen, he said,
I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes,
DO# MIbI've moved your mountains and marked your cards
FAm SOL# MIbBut Eden is burning, either get brave for elimination
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.
(Interlude)
Peace will come
SOL# MIb FAmWith tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire
DO# MIb FAmBut will offer no reward when her false idols fall
And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
DO# MIb SOL#Between the King and the Queen of Swords.
The "Interlude" (that the sax plays) is:
E -6-8-9-8-8~----6-6~----4-4~--(repeat 3 times)---||-6p4-4---4~--||
B ------------------------------------------------||-------6-----||
G ------------------------------------------------||-------------||
D ------------------------------------------------||-------------||
A ------------------------------------------------||-------------||
E ------------------------------------------------||-------------||
One word of note: It is much easier to play this song with a capo on the
first fret (i.e. play Em G D Em C D... while the 1st fret is fretted). This
makes it more easier and does not make the guitar sound too choppy.
