In live recordings Sill has the capo slightly off, between the 1st and 2nd frets. [Intro] C F C G C [Verse 1]

^COnce I heard a serpent remark "If you try to e^Fvoke the sp^Cark You can f^Fly through the da^Crk with a r^Fed midnight ^Craven To rule th^C7e battleground"

[Chorus 1]

^FSo I drew my sw^Cord and got rea^Fdy But the l^Camb ran a^Gway with the c^Crown ^FSo I drew my sw^Cord and got rea^Fdy But the l^Camb ran a^Gway with the c^Crown

[Verse 2]

^CThough the beast within me's a liar He made me glow with a ^Fstrange des^Cire And I rod^Fe on the fire, wi^Cth a blue s^Facred opal ^C To bless ^C7the battleground

[Chorus 2]

Bu^Ft I turned to see its reflection But the l^Camb ran a^Gway with the c^Crown Bu^Ft I turned to ^Gsee its refle^Cction But the l^Camb ran a^Gway with the c^Crown

[Verse 3]

^COnce a demon lived in my brow I screamed and wailed a^Fnd I cursed^C out loud And I sai^Fled through the c^Clouds on te^Fn crested ca^Crdinals To gua^C7rd my battleground

[Chorus 3] (repeat to fade out)

^FBut I laughed s^Co hard I cried ^F But the l^Camb ran a^Gway with the c^Crown Bu^Ft I laughed so hard I cried But the l^Camb ran a^Gway with the c^Crown
