DOh (xx0232@1)how sad they sound the songs

The queen must sing of dying
  GA (320003@1)prisoner upon her throne
             AOf (x02220@1)meloncoly sighing
             G (320003@1)            AIf (x02220@1)she could see her mirror now
              G (320003@1)              AShe (x02220@1)would be free of those who bow
               G (320003@1)                 AAnd (x02220@1)scrape the ground benneth her feet
DSilently (xx0232@1)she walks among her

Dying midnight roses
GWatches (320003@1)as each moment goes
                  AThat (x02220@1)never really know us
          GAnd (320003@1)if it seems
             AShe (x02220@1)doesn't care
            G (320003@1)             AIf (x02220@1)she has dreams of no one there
            G (320003@1)            AWithin (x02220@1)the shadows of her room
     D (xx0232@1)           GBut (320003@1)all my frozen words agree and say it's time to
D (xx0232@1)               GCall (320003@1)back all the birds I sent to fly behind her
A (x02220@1)                    D (xx0232@1)          GCastle (320003@1)walls, and I'm weary of the nights I've seen
A (x02220@1)                DInside (xx0232@1)these empty halls

-----For break play chords-D then D without F# then with G (first string 3rd fret) then 
chord again---------Play this twice
DWooden (xx0232@1)lady turn and turn

Among my weary secrets
     G (320003@1)                                       AAnd (x02220@1)way within the hours past and other empty pockets
             G (320003@1)                AMaybe (x02220@1)we've found what we have lost
            G (320003@1)             AWhen (x02220@1)we've unwound so many crossed
       G (320003@1)         AIntangling (x02220@1)misunderstanding
     D (xx0232@1)          GBut (320003@1)all my frozen words agree and say it's time to
D (xx0232@1)               GCall (320003@1)back all the birds I've sent to fly behind her
A (x02220@1)                   D (xx0232@1)           GCastle (320003@1)walls, and I'm weary of the nights I've seen
A (x02220@1)           DInside (xx0232@1)these empty walls
