I will bring you gold apples   and grapes made of ruu--bies

                       Fm        A#
That have shone in the eyes of    a prince of the breeze.

Cm                Fm       Cm                 Fm     G#
Bright cascading crystals, they danced in the saaand dunes

                   Fm          A#
On the beach of no footprints   to harpsichord tunes.

Cm                Fm     Cm              Fm   G#
A throne of white ivory, a gown of white laaaace

                   Fm      A#
Lies still in the magic     of a timeless place.

Cm                Fm        Cm                 Fm       G#
One hundred small children, they laugh at the whiiiiite doves

                   Fm        A#
That rest on their hands     with the touch of love.

Cm               Fm      Cm            Fm           G#
On a hillside of velvet   the children theeeeey lay down

                    Fm          A#
And make fun of the grown-ups    with their silly frown.

Cm                    Fm        Cm                   Fm     G#
And the sound of their laughter is the sound of the greeeen sea

                    Fm            A#
As it washed around the foot of    the seashell tree.

Cm               Fm    Cm               Fm   G#
The doves circle over   and land in the treeees

                    Fm      A#
Where parrots are talking    their words with such ease.

Cm               Fm       Cm                      Fm  G#
Thus spoke three wizards   to the young ones that daaay:

                    Fm             A#
"There's sadness in the kingdom,    make it go far away."

Cm                Fm         Cm                     Fm    G#
If you follow the sunbeams    through the valley of floooowers

                     Fm             A#
To the palace of the White Queen     with its white jade towers.

Cm                Fm             Cm              Fm   G#
The youngest, she sighed then    the clouds drew awaaaay

                    Fm        A#
And a hundred small fingers   scratched their heads in dismay.

Cm              Fm       Cm               Fm   G#
From out of the sun a     giant gull came flyyying

And the children got ready     to sit on its wings.

They waved to the raindrops   as they soared over the treees

The wind tossed their hair high,    flashing gold on the sea.

They came to the castle    and there they did faaaaall,

And they saw all the sadness,    through the crystal wall.

A princess lay a-sleeping     so gentle and kiiiind

                  Fm                 A#
Whilst her prince took to battle     with his confused mind.

Cm           Fm               Cm                    Fm  G#
The clash of bright metal      brought the children feeear,

                    Fm            A#
But their cloaks of blue satin     dried up all of these tears.

Cm                 Fm          Cm                      Fm  G#
Thus children held hands and    they spelled out their naaaame

All the golden children      became a golden chain.

It lies on a white throne    in a magic plaaace

                Fm          A#
With a tunic of velvet      and a gown of white lace.

Cm                Fm     Cm            Fm  G#
My sword, it lies broken and cast in a laaake

                 Fm             A#
In a dream I was told that      my princess would wake.
