[Verse 1]
      Bsus4 Asus2    G6         F#7sus4
There was a king who ruled the land

    Bsus4  Asus2  G6    F#7sus4
His Maj-es-ty was in command

     Bsus4  Asus2    G6      F#7sus4
With silver eyes the scarlet eagle

B*       Aadd9  G*     F#add11
Showered silver on the people
[Hook]

waiting?

You only have to read the lines of scribbly black and every----thing

[Verse 2]
 Bsus4     Asus2       G6     F#7sus4 Bsus4    Asus2    G6       F#7sus4
Across the stream with wood-en shoes, bells to tell the king the news---

  Bsus4    Asus2 G6     F#7sus4  Bsus4  Asus2    G6       F#7sus4
A thousand misty riders climb up higher once upon---- a time-----
[Hook]
G     D       A       A*      G          D         E

B       A          G      F#         B            A         G      F#
All the time spent in that room, the doll's house darkness, old perfume

    B     Asus2   G       F#      B         A            G    F#
And fairy stories held me high on clouds of sunlight floating by
