Intro:
G   C/G G

G  D    Em
Sixteen years,
 Am C G/D        D                  Em
Sixteen banners united over the field
          C                  D
Where the good shepherd grieves.
          Em    Am   C   G/D     D
Desperate men, desperate women divided,
                    Em              C  D G
Spreading their wings ?neath the falling leaves

G  D    Em
Fortune calls.
 Am C     G/D            D                         Em
I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace,
                   C                D                      Em
Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down.
  Am        C  G/D            D                     Em
She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born,
              C    D        G
On midsummers eve, near the tower.

    G    D       Em
The cold-blooded moon.
   Am C    G/D                   D
The captain waits above the celebration
            Em            C          D
Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
            Em   Am   C    G/D    D
Whose ebony face is beyond communication.
               Em                                C         D
The captain is down but still believing that his love will be
G
repaid.

     G      D   Em
They shaved her head.
    Am C   G/D                    D
She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.
               Em          C              D
A messanger arrived with a black nightingale.
                  Em           Am  C    G/D         D
I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow,
           Em                              C   D      G
Follow her down to the fountain where they lifted her veil.

(SOLO)

  G        D     Em
I stumbled to my feet.
Am C   G/D     D               Em
I rode past destruction in the ditches
         C              D                Em
With the stitches still mending ?neath a heart-shaped tattoo.
Am  C    G/D         D                 Em
Renegade priests and treacherous young witches
                                      C D      G
Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.

    G      D  Em
The palace of mirrors
 Am   C   G/D            D
Where dog soldiers are reflected,
            Em           C          D
The endless road and the wailing of chimes,
          Em              Am C G/D       D
The empty rooms where her memory is protected,
                     Em                 C        D        G
where the angel's voices whisper to the souls of previous times.

(SOLO)

    G     D   Em
She wakes him up
Am C G/D          D                 Em
Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking
     C                                  D
Near Broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks.
                 Em        Am C        G/D         D
She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking.
                 Em                                 C    D
He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden
G
locks.

G     D       Em
Gentlemen, he said,
Am C G/D                D                        Em
I don't need your orginization, I've shined your shoes,
     C                                    D
I've moved your mountains and marked your cards
            Em       Am C   G/D                 D
But Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination
             Em                                   C        D
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the
G
guards.

(SOLO)

G     D    Em
Peace will come
Am   C   G/D              D                    Em
With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire
         C               D           Em
But will bring us no reward when her false idols fall
    Am C G/D          D             Em
And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
            C            D        G
Between the King and the Queen of Swords.
