He said, "I am not fighting for you anymore"
LAm LAm FAsus9 FAsus9And the queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before

LAm LAm FAsus9 FAsus9
He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill

He said, "I see you now and you are so very young

Well the young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye
She said, "You won't understand, and you may as well not try"
But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry
But she closed herself up like a fan
And she said, "I have swallowed a secret burning thread
It cuts me inside and often I've bled"

"Tell me how hungry are you, how weak you must feel
As you are living here alone and you are never revealed
But I won't march again on your battlefield"
And he took her to the window to see
And the sun it was gold, though the sky it was grey
And she wanted more than she ever could say
But she knew how it frightened her and she turned away
And would not look at his face again
He said, "I want to live as an honest man
To get all I deserve and to give all I can
And to love a young woman whom I don't understand
Your highness, your ways are very strange"
But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break
And she stood there ashamed of the way her heart ached
And she took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait
She would only be a moment inside

Out in the distance her order was heard

CHORDS/TAB:
Here's how all the individual chords are played; string these together
to play the whole song. The thumb plays all the notes on the 3 lowest
strings (and the first and fifth notes of each measure).
(In the very last verse, most of the chords are played by plucking the
chord sharply at the beginning of the measure and repeating a bass note on
every eighth note of the measure; see "C5" below. Toward the end of that
verse, it is still sharp chords and bass notes, but the rhythm is different.)
