    [intro]
  •  
    Am Am Fsus9 Fsus9
    The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
  • Csus9 Gsus4/B Csus9 G
    He said, "I am not fighting for you anymore"
    Am Am Fsus9 Fsus9
  • And the queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
    Csus2 Gsus4/B Csus9 Csus9
    And slowly she let him inside
  •  
    Am Am Fsus9 Fsus9
    He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill
  • Csus9 Gsus4/B Csus9 G
    And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill
    Am Am Fsus9 Fsus9
  • But I am leaving tomorrow, and you can do what you will
    Csus2 Gsus4/B Csus9 Csus9
    Only first I am asking you why"
  •  
    Fsus9 Fsus9 C/E C/E
    Down the long narrow hall he was led
  • D7sus4 D7sus4 D7 Dm7
    Into her room with her tapestries red
    Am Am Fsus9 Fsus9
  • And she never once took the crown from her head
    Csus9 Gsus4/B Csus9 Csus9 Csus9 Csus9
    She asked him there to sit down
  •  
     
    He said, "I see you now and you are so very young
  • But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won
    And I've got this intuition says it's all for your fun
    And now will you tell me why?"
  •  
    Well the young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye
    She said, "You won't understand, and you may as well not try"
  • But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry
    But she closed herself up like a fan
     
  • And she said, "I have swallowed a secret burning thread
    It cuts me inside and often I've bled"
    And he laid his hand then on the top of her head
  • Csus9 Gsus4/B Csus9 Csus9
    And he bowed her down to the ground
     
  •  
    Fsus9 Fsus9 C/E C/E D7sus4 D7sus4 D7 Dm7
    ["Oooooh" and instrumental]
  • Am Am Fsus9 Fsus9 Csus9 Gsus4/B Csus9 Csus9
    ["Oooooh" and instrumental]
     
  •  
    "Tell me how hungry are you, how weak you must feel
    As you are living here alone and you are never revealed
  • But I won't march again on your battlefield"
    And he took her to the window to see
     
  • And the sun it was gold, though the sky it was grey
    And she wanted more than she ever could say
    But she knew how it frightened her and she turned away
  • And would not look at his face again
     
    He said, "I want to live as an honest man
  • To get all I deserve and to give all I can
    And to love a young woman whom I don't understand
    Your highness, your ways are very strange"
  •  
     
    But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break
  • And she stood there ashamed of the way her heart ached
    And she took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait
    She would only be a moment inside
  •  
    Am Am Fsus2 Fsus2
    Out in the distance her order was heard
  • C5 Gsus4/B C5 G
    And the soldier was killed still waiting for her word
    Am Am Fsus9 Fsus9
  • And while the queen went on strangling in the solitude she preferred
    C5 Gsus4/B C5 Gsus4/B
    The battle continued on
  •

    CHORDS/TAB:
     
  • Here's how all the individual chords are played; string these together
    to play the whole song. The thumb plays all the notes on the 3 lowest
    strings (and the first and fifth notes of each measure).
  • (In the very last verse, most of the chords are played by plucking the
    chord sharply at the beginning of the measure and repeating a bass note on
    every eighth note of the measure; see "C5" below. Toward the end of that
  • verse, it is still sharp chords and bass notes, but the rhythm is different.)
