[Chorus]
Amaj7
Music is a princess

C#dim    B        Amaj7
I'm just a boy in rags
I would gladly spend my life
B
Carrying her flags
[Verse 1]
         A                           E
From the first time I heard her, the sound of her voice

        F#m                 C#m
And her beauty completely bewitched me

      A                          E
I was lost then and there, I was given no choice

     F#m                              G#
Ever since, there's been no peace for me, you see
[Chorus]
Amaj7
Music is a princess

C#dim    G#m7  Amaj7
I'm just a nobody
Who'd gladly give his life
B
For her majesty
[Verse 2]
      A                     E
If in dying I'd move her or make her heart stir

     F#m                        C#m
If I thought for one moment I'd be missed

    A                        E
But extravagant gestures are wasted on her

        F#m                  G#
She's a princess, I'm Oliver Twist
[Chorus]
Amaj7
Music is a princess

C#dim    G#m7     Amaj7
I'm just a boy in rags
I'd gladly spend my life
B
Carrying her bags
[Verse 3]
         A                           E
If their weight is much greater than I first supposed

      F#m                 C#m
I'd remember my oath of allegiance

     A                     E
True love is a monarch who won't be deposed

F#m              G#
Treason hasn't a chance
[Chorus 4]
Amaj7
Music is a princess

C#dim      B      Amaj7        B
I'm just a boy in rags...
[Interlude] A E F#m C#m A E F#m G# [Chorus]
Amaj7
Music is a princess

C#dim    B      Amaj7
I will remain unknown
Falling asleep at night
B
Dreaming of her throne
[Verse 4]
        A                        E
But her jewels are brighter than my eyes can bear

      F#m                        C#m
And although she is something to die for,

     A                          E
I do not have the slipper she's waiting to wear

      F#m                          G#
So my dreams remain dreams nothing more.

    A                        E
Her jewels are brighter than my eyes can bear

F#m                      C#m
Yes, she is something to die for,

      A                            E
But I don't have the slipper she's waiting to wear

      F#m                        G#
I'm a boy dressed in rags at her door
[Chorus]
Amaj7
Music is a princess

C#dim      G#m    Amaj7
I'm just a boy in rags...

F#m7
In rags...

        C#m
In rags
