The Amsoldier came Amknocking upFsus9on the queen's dFsus9oor He said, "Csus9I am not Gsus4/Bfighting for Csus9you anyGmore" And the Amqueen knew she'd Amseen his faceFsus9 someplace beFsus9fore And sCsus2lowly she Gsus4/Blet him inCsus9side
He said, "AmI've watched your Ampalace up Fsus9here on the hiFsus9ll And I've Csus9wondered who's the Gsus4/Bwoman for Csus9whom we all Gkill But I am Amleaving toAmmorrow, and you can Fsus9do what you willFsus9 Only Csus2first I am Gsus4/Basking youCsus9 why"
Fsus9 Down the Fsus9long narrow C/Ehall he was C/Eled D7sus4Into her D7sus4room with her D7tapestries Dm7red And Amshe never Amonce took the Fsus9crown from her heFsus9ad Csus9She asked him Gsus4/Bthere to sit Csus9down
He said, "I see you now and you are so very young But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won And I've got this intuition says it's all for your fun And now will you tell me why?" Well the young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye She said, "You won't understand, and you may as well not try" But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry But she closed herself up like a fan And she said, "I have swallowed a secret burning thread It cuts me inside and often I've bled" And he laid his hand then on the top of her head
Csus9And he bowed hGsus4/Ber down to thCsus9e grounCsus9d Fsus9, C/E, D7sus4, D7, Dm7
AmOooooh Fsus9 Csus9, Gsus4/B, Csus9 "Tell me how hungry are you, how weak you must feel As you are living here alone and you are never revealed But I won't march again on your battlefield" And he took her to the window to see
And the sun it was gold, though the sky it was grey And she wanted more than she ever could say But she knew how it frightened her and she turned away And would not look at his face again He said, "I want to live as an honest man To get all I deserve and to give all I can And to love a young woman whom I don't understand Your highness, your ways are very strange" But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break And she stood there ashamed of the way her heart ached And she took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait She would only be a moment inside
AmOut in the Amdistance her Fsus2order was Fsus2heard And the C5soldier was Gsus4/Bkilled still C5waiting for her Gword And while the Amqueen went on Amstrangling in the Fsus9solitude she preFsus9ferred The C5battleGsus4/B continued C5on Gsus4/B
