Property of King Crimson [Verse 1]
Am           Dm
Farewell the temple master's bells

Am           Dm
His kiosk and his black worm seed

Am           Dm
Courtship solely of his word

E            Am
With Eden guaranteed

Am           Dm
For now Prince Rupert's tears of glass

Am           Dm
Make saffron sabbath eyelids bleed

Am           Dm
Scar the sacred tablet wax

E            Am
On which the Lizards feed
[Chorus]
A                         Bm
Wake your reason's hollow vote

D                         A
Wear your blizzard season coat

A                         Bm
Burn a bridge and burn a boat

D                         A
Stake a Lizard by the throat
[Verse 2]
Am           Dm
Go Polonius or kneel

Am           Dm
The reapers name their harvest dawn

Am           Dm
All your tarnished devil's spoons

E            Am
Will rust beneath our corn

Am           Dm
Now bears Prince Rupert's garden roam

Am           Dm
Across his rain tree shaded lawn

Am           Dm
Lizard bones become the clay

E            Am
And there a swan is born
[Chorus]
A                         Bm
Wake your reason's hollow vote

D                         A
Wear your blizzard season coat

A                         Bm
Burn a bridge and burn a boat

D                         A
Stake a Lizard by the throat
[Verse 3]
Am           Dm
Gone soon Piepowder's moss-weed court

Am           Dm
Round which upholstered Lizards sold

Am           Dm
Visions to their leaden flock

E            Am
Of rainbows' ends and gold

Am           Dm
Now tales Prince Rupert's peacock brings

Am           Dm
Of walls and trumpets thousand fold

Am           Dm
Prophets chained for burning masks

E            Am
And reels of dreams unrolled
[Chorus]
A                 Bm
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da- Da Da Da

D                 A
Da Da Da Da Da Da Daaaa

A                 Bm
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da- Da Da Da

D                 A
Da Da Da Da Da Da Daaaa
