(intro) C#5

C#5
Once there was a man
         E5               B5              G#5
who had a little too much time on his hands
                                               A5
he never stopped to think that he was getting older.
    C#5
When his night came to an end
           C5                                G5
He tried to grasp for his last friend and pretend
                           B5                        A5
That he could wish himself health on a four leaf clover

           C5
He said is this the return to Oz?
              F5                G#5                      C5
The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws

There's a wind up man walking round and round
     F5                   G#5                  C5
What once was Emerald City is now a crystal town

C#5
Its three o' clock in the morning
           E5                   B5                     G#5
You get a phone call from the queen with a hundred heads
                           A5
She says that they're all dead
              C#5
She tried the last one on

It couldn't speak, fell off
    C5
And now she just wanders the halls
         G5       B5                    A5
Thinking nothing, thinking nothing at all

           C5
He said is this the return to Oz?
              F5                G#5                      C5
The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws

There's a wind up man walking round and round
     F5                   G#5                  C5
What once was Emerald City is now a crystal town

C#5
The wheelies are cutting pavement
        E5                B5
and the Skeksis at the rave meant
   G#5
to hide deep inside
               A5
their sunken faces
                        C#5
and their wild, rolling eyes
                         C5
But their callous words reveal
                        G5
That they can no longer feel
           B5
Love or sex appeal
    A5
The patchwork girl has come to cinch the deal

C5                      F5
To return to Oz we've fled the world
     G#5                    C5
With smiles and clenching jaws

Please help me friend from coming down
      F5             G#5                 C5
I've lost my place now and it cant be found

Is this the return to Oz?
               F5               G#5                     C5
The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws

There's a wind up man walking round and round
     F5                G#5                    C5
What once was Emerald City is now a crystal town
