Intro: B A/B GM7/D F#(add B)
There was a king-who ruled the land-
His Maj-es-ty was in com-mand-
With sil-ver eyes- the scar-let ea-gle
show-ered sil-ver on the peo-ple.
oh,-------moth-er, tell me more.-----
N.C. B
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.--------
A-cross the stream with wood-en shoes,---bells to tell- the king the news,--
a thou-sand mist-y rid-ers climb up high-er once up-on---- a time.----
Won-der-ing and dream-ing. The words have dif-fer-ent mean-ings,
Yes, they did.
Intro: F# (8 times)
All the time spent in that room,the doll's house dark-ness,old per-fume,
and fair-y sto-ries held me high on clouds of sun-light float-ing by.
Oh,--------moth-er,tell me more.
Tell me more.
Outro: Beat: 3/4...chord: E (Repeat & Fade)
