There was a king who ruled the land
Bsus4 Asus4 G6 F#7sus4
His Majesty was in command
Bsus4 Asus2 G6 F#7sus4 Bsus4 Asus2 G6 F#7sus4
With silver eyes the scarlet eagle showered silver on the people
G D A G D E
Oh____, mother, tell me more
N.C.
Why'd you have to leave me there,
B
Hanging in my infant air, waiting?
N.C.
You only have to read the lines of scribbly black and ev'rything shines
Bsus4 Asus2 G6 F#7sus4
Across the stream with wooden shoes,
Bsus4 Asus2 G6 F#7sus4
Bells to tell the king the news,
Bsus4 Asus2 G6 F#7sus4 Bsus4 Asus2 G6 F#7sus4
A thousand misty riders climb up higher once upon a time
G D A
Wondering and dreaming
G D E
The words have different meanings
A G E F#
Yes, they did
Bsus4 Asus4 G6 F#7sus4
Of all the time spent in that room,
Bsus4 Asus2 G6 F#7sus4
The doll's house darkness, old perfume,
Bsus4 Asus2 G6 F#7sus4 Bsus4 Asus2 G6 F#7sus4
And fairy stories held me high on clouds of sunlight floating by
G D A G D E
Oh____, mother, tell me more
A G E
Tell me more
