C#m7 x46600 F#m11 2x2200 In the main riff, through the intro and versus, the Esus to E transition is a hammer-on of the A string from fret 9 to 11 on the first strum of Esus. I've found freting strings 2, 3, and 4 with a flat index finger allows for hammering on to the 11th fret with my middle finger. [Intro] Esus E C#m7 Amaj7 Esus E C#m7 Amaj7 [Verse 1]

         Esus E       C#m7          Amaj7
Well now after all the corridors are darkened

Esus E        C#m7              Amaj7
When the royal crown is off your head

        Esus E         C#m7        Amaj7
To your chambers I will creep not a word we will speak

     Esus E           C#m7       Amaj7
Just love me while the fire light dances 'round the bed

Esus E C#m7 Amaj7 Esus E C#m7 Amaj7 [Verse 2]

Esus E             C#m7           Amaj7
      Well there is danger in this passion

Esus E          C#m7             Amaj7
Because the king can never, never know

Esus E   C#m7       Amaj7
And on my blood I've sworn my allegiance

        Esus E            C#m7               Amaj7
So I'll leave you when the sunlight comes and beckons me to go

Esus E C#m7 Amaj7 Esus E C#m7 Amaj7 [Chorus]

        D6sus2                            Aadd9
And the silver shine is tarnished from my armor

       D6sus2                     E
And in battle I am paralyzed with fear

         Esus E       C#m7        Amaj7
And this poison in my soul is the love we'll never know

       Esus E         C#m7        Amaj7
And it finds me playing Lancelot to your Guinevere

[Bridge]

Asus2                      Bsus
Guinevere is sly enough to steal a little taste

        G#m7  (b13)                C#m7
And her laughter it peals into the night

       Asus2                        C#m7
Oh but forbidden fruit always stays sticky on your face

        F#m11                     Bsus
Without virtue I'm worthless in a fight

Oh yeah... Esus E C#m7 Amaj7 Esus E C#m7 Amaj7 [Verse 3]

Esus E         C#m7           Amaj7
Stealing little glances at the table

Esus E              C#m7           Amaj7
I feel that this is theater in the round

Esus E  C#m7         Amaj7
But far away chasing vixens in the meadow

     Esus E          C#m7               Amaj7
Your love like wind, blows right by and sweeps me off the ground

And the silver shine is tarnished from my armor

       D6sus2                     E
And in battle I am paralyzed with fear, oh

         Esus E       C#m7        Amaj7
And this poison in my soul is the love we'll never know

       Esus E          C#m7   Amaj7
And it finds me playing Lancelot to your Guinevere
