CmI will bring you gold Fmapples Cmand grapes made of Fmruu--G#bies
That have shone in the Fmeyes of A# a prince of the breeze.
CmBright cascading cFmrystals, Cmthey danced in the Fmsaaand G#dunes
On the beach of no Fmfootprints A# to harpsichord tunes.
CmA throne of white Fmivory, Cma gown of white FmlaaaaG#ce
Lies still in the mFmagic A# of a timeless place.
CmOne hundred small Fmchildren, Cmthey laugh at the wFmhiiiiite G#doves
That rest on their Fmhands A#with the touch of love.
CmOn a hillside of Fmvelvet Cm the children Fmtheeeeey lay G#down
And make fun of the Fmgrown-ups A# with their silly frown.
CmAnd the sound of theirFm laughter Cmis the sound of the gFmreeeen G#sea
As it washed around Fmthe foot of A# the seashell tree.
[ Orchestration ]
CmThe doves circle Fmover Cm and land in the FmtreeeG#es
Where parrots are taFmlking A# their words with such ease.
CmThus spoke three Fmwizards Cm to the young ones that FmdaaaG#y:
"There's sadnesFms in the kingdoA#m, make it go far away."
CmIf you follow the Fmsunbeams Cm through the valley of FmflooooG#wers
To the palace of the FmWhite Queen A# with its white jade towers.
CmThe youngest, she Fmsighed then Cmthe clouds drew FmawaaaG#ay
And a hundred small Fmfingers A#scratched their heads in dismay.
CmFrom out of the Fmsun a Cm giant gull came FmflyyyG#ing
And the children got Fmready A# to sit on its wings.
CmThey waved to theFm raindrops Cmas they soared over the FmtreeG#es
The wind tossed their Fmhair high, A#flashing gold on the sea.

CmThey came to the Fmcastle Cm and there they did FmfaaaaaG#ll,
And they saw all the Fmsadness, A#through the crystal wall.
CmA princess lay a-Fmsleeping Cm so gentle and FmkiiiinG#d
Whilst her prince Fmtook to battle A#with his confused mind.
CmThe clash of Fmbright metal Cm brought the children FmfeeeG#ar,
But their cloaks of Fmblue satin A# dried up all of these tears.
[ Orchestration ]
CmThus children held Fmhands and Cm they spelled out their FmnaaaG#ame
All the golden Fmchildren A#became a golden chain.

CmIt lies on a Fmwhite throne Cm in a magic FmplaaG#ace
With a tunic of Fmvelvet A#and a gown of white lace.
[ Orchestration ]
CmMy sword, it lies Fmbroken Cmand cast in a FmlaaaG#ke
In a dream I was Fmtold that A#my princess would wake.
