C (x32010@1)          Em (022000@1)        Am (x02210@1)
He struggled so hard to be king
Dm/Dm7    G
Working night and day
C (x32010@1)         Em (022000@1)      Am (x02210@1)      
Dreaming of only one thing
Dm/Dm7    G (320003@1)   
Never a holiday
F (133211@1)                  CSomewhere (x32010@1)along the way
F (133211@1)               Dm (xx0231@1)    G7 (320001@1)  
He forgot she was only a girl
        C (x32010@1)          Em (022000@1)       
Now his kingdom has fallen
         F (133211@1)            Dm (xx0231@1)    Bb (x1333x@1)   G (320003@1)      
And it's really quite a tragic tale
      C (x32010@1)         Em (022000@1)       Am (x02210@1)       
Cause he built a castle to harbor his queen
        F (133211@1)              C (x32010@1)          G (320003@1)       
But the queen claimed he built her a jail

C (x32010@1)         Em (022000@1)        AmHe (x02210@1)struggled so hard to be king
Dm/Dm7     GHe (320003@1)wanted everything
   C (x32010@1)          Em (022000@1)         AmHe (x02210@1)built her a house by the sea
Dm/Dm7    G
Just to keep her in
F (133211@1)                  CSomewhere (x32010@1)along the way
F (133211@1)           Bb (x1333x@1)       GHe (320003@1)forgot she needed a friend
        C (x32010@1)          EmNow (022000@1)his kingdom has fallen
          F (133211@1)           Dm (xx0231@1)    Bb (x1333x@1)  GAnd (320003@1)it's really quite a tragic tale
      C (x32010@1)         Em (022000@1)       Am (x02210@1)       
Cause he built a castle to harbor his queen

It happened so quickly before he could know
         D (xx0232@1)   G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)         
She was gone, far gone
G (320003@1)                       D (xx0232@1)   
Far from the castle, the diamonds and things
         Bm (x24432@1)        C (x32010@1)    A7 (x02020@1)        
She had worn to the ball
  G (320003@1)                       DThere (xx0232@1)was a note that she carefully wrote
