Edguy – Speedhoven (Guitar)

F#m     E        D     A
Welcome to this wonderworld

E         A
Everybody take your sledges

F#m   E        D    A
Winterland Plutocracy

E                     A
Down the slope don't fear the hedges

A         C        G
Everybody in their box

F             G
Waiting under rights of action

A                    C          G
Raise your heads and hold your breath

F                   G
I can't stand your putrefaction

A                C       G
I can smell your brain decay

F                G
As you look down at the stage and

A                C      G
Drive me mad and then insane

Am      C  G   Am
Welcome to the show

F#m
 You've been waiting for the one

     D               A     E
To bring you joy and ecstasy

F#m
 And you've been waiting for a song

           D                 A   E
And you demand to feel the tragedy

               A        E       F#m
But when it's right out of control

                           D
And it's not your song anymore

                         A
And you are ready to forget

                             E
The truth that you'd been asking for

F#m                     D
I'm not afraid to sacrifice

                              E
And I don't care bout your advice

                         Bm B
As I spread my wings and fly

A               C#m                   A
 No love - it's pain you've come to feed

             E                  B
In mental strain I crawl and bleed

Am        G      C
 Forever roaming

G         Am
You will hear it scream

      F            G
The cries of Speedhoven

Am        G      C
 Forever roaming

G       Am
Every starless night

          E
You will hear the cries

F#m
 You'll never get:

           A      D                 E
I'll never be the one that you want me to be

F#m                              D
 And all the treasures that you hold

                           E
All your diamond rings and gold

         A       E      F#m
I have tried and it was wrong

              D            F#m
You tried to push me up a notch

           D                  E
But all I made was an itchy crotch

          A      E       F#m
I wanted love and I want more

            D              F#m
Muckrakers waiting for the prey

            D          E
Muckrakers want me to obey

B
Though you pay

A              C#m
This opera is haunted they will say

A                     C#m                 B
 That's where they've driven the light insane

Am        G      C
 Forever roaming

G         Am
You will hear it scream

      F            G
The cries of Speedhoven

Am        G      C
 Forever roaming

G       Am
Every starless night

          E
You will hear the cries

Am        G      C
 Forever roaming

G        Am
You will hear it scream

    F             G
The cries of Speedhoven

Am      G       C    G  F
 Forever you'll hear it scream

Am         E
La-la-la-la...

F#m                             D
 In a cold winter night I had a vision

                A
Taking me by my hand

                  E
Leading me to the door

                        F#m
To rescue me from the wastelands

                    C#m   D
The glance of the shining ivories

                             A
A world that they can't understand

                     E
Out of sound, out of reason

                                F#m
The voice of their laughter was gone

        D                A
Taken away, time for a change

            E
I'm walking over

         F#m          D
Flying away, flying away

        A
Dying into another world

            E
Pure and divine

                  F#m
And the laughter dies

F#m     E        D     A
Welcome to this wonderworld

E         A
Everybody take your sledges

F#m   E        D    A
Winterland Plutocracy

E                     A
Down the slope don't fear the hedges

Am        G      C
 Forever roaming

G         Am
You will hear it scream

      F            G
The cries of Speedhoven

Am        G      C
 Forever roaming

G       Am
Every starless night

          E
You will hear the cries

Am        G      C
 Forever roaming

G        Am
You will hear it scream

    F             G
The cries of Speedhoven

Am      G       C    G  F
 Forever you'll hear it scream

Am         E
La-la-la-la...
