(So for ease, I'm only going to write Em7 instead of Em7add6)
(Every time there is the C Em7 Am Am7/G progression, play
it like the intro)
If Cyou want to Em7see, and be Amseen, then be Am7/Gseen
Your Fdress is dark Gred and
your Copening Em7eyes, bright Amgreen, make a Am7/Gscene,
but dont Flie on your Gbed,
laid Fout like you're Gdead,
Because Amhoney you're murdering Gme...
(musical interlude is intro twice, try to hit the root notes harder)
Be a Clittle sheep Em7learning, who'll Amshear, and who'll Am7/Gfeed,
The hands Fcome and they Gleave,
Be hands Cholding a Hknife, be a Ambeing, on two Am7/Gfeet,
With his Fheart tremble-Gin'
butcheriFn' for a Gking,
He Ambelieves in though he's never Gseen... la da da da
(musical interlude)
Be the Fprincess in that stoneEm tower,
AmCrying for that Ghandsome butchersAm plight,
And as Gsome princess might she still Fcalls him a Gknight
but the Cbest thing for Em7you, would be Amqueen, so be Am7/Gqueen,
you're Fall that I Gneed,
Though I Cknow that it Em7never can Ambe, I'd be Am7/Gpleased,
To Fpost your Gdecrees,
to FFall at your Gknees,
to Amname all you streets and to Fsit down and Gweep
and you're Amcarried back through them and Fset down to Gsleep
And to Amlie by you side for Fsublime Gcentruies
till we Amcrumble to Gdust, when were Fcrushed by a Gsingle sun
(outro same as intro but softer)
Cbeam. Em7 Am Am7/G
(repeat intro till you feel like stopping and then end it on a C)
