Bsus4 Asus2    G6        F#7sus4-9
There was a king who ruled the land.

Bsus4 Asus2  G6    F#7sus4-9
His Majesty was in command.

Bsus4  Asus2    G6      F#7sus4-9 
With silver eyes the scarlet eagle 

Bsus4    Asus2  G6     F#7sus4-9
Showered silver on the people.

G   D   A       G    D  E
Ohhhhh, mother, tell me more.

Why'd you have to leave me there?
Hanging in my infant air, waiting.

You only have to read the lines of scribbly black and ev'rything shines


Bsus4     Asus2       G6     F#7sus4-9
Across the stream with wooden shoes,

Bsus4    Asus2    G6       F#7sus4-9
Bells to tell the king the news,

  Bsus4    Asus2 G6     F#7sus4-9  
A thousand misty riders climb 

   Bsus4  Asus2  G6   F#7sus4-9
Up higher once upon a time.

G     D       A
Wondering and dreaming.

    G          D         E
The words had different meanings.

A    G    E       F#
Yes, they did.


Bsus4   Asus2      G6      F#7sus4-9
For all the time spent in that room,

    Bsus4        Asus2     G6     F#7sus4-9
The doll's house darkness, old perfume,

    Bsus4 Asus2   G6      F#7sus4-9 
And fairy stories held me high 

   Bsus4     Asus2         G6  F#7sus4-9
On clouds of sunlight floating by.

G   D   A       G    D  E
Ohhhh, mother, tell me more.

A    G  E
Tell me more.
