Intro: B A/B Gm7/D F#(add B)

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

    Bsus4  Asus2  G6     F#7sus4
His Maj-es-ty was in com-mand-

     Bsus4   Asus2     G6       F#7sus4
With sil-ver eyes- the scar-let ea-gle

Bsus4     Asus2   G6     F#7sus4
show-ered sil-ver on the peo-ple.

G   D     A        G    D  E
oh,-------moth-er, tell me more.-----

Why'd you have to leave me there,hang-ing in my in-fant air,wait-ing?----

N.C.
You on-ly have to read the lines of scrib-bly black and ev--'ry-thing shines.--------

  Bsus4     Asus2       G6     F#7sus4   Bsus4    Asus2     G6       F#7sus4
A-cross the stream with wood-en shoes,---bells to tell- the king the news,--

  Bsus4     Asus2  G6      F#7sus4  Bsus4   Asus2     G6       F#7sus4
a thou-sand mist-y rid-ers climb up high-er once up-on---- a time.----

G       D       A              G          D           E
Won-der-ing and dream-ing. The words have dif-fer-ent mean-ings,

A    G    E
Yes, they did.

Bsus4   Asus2      G6     F#7sus4   Bsus4        Asus2     G6        F#7sus4
All the time spent in that room,the doll's house dark-ness,old per-fume,

    Bsus4  Asus2    G6      F#7sus4 Bsus4     Asus2          G6    F#7sus4
and fair-y sto-ries held me high on clouds of sun-light float-ing by.

G     D    A       G    D  E
Oh,--------moth-er,tell me more.

A    G  E
Tell me more.
