Db                                  Fm
Once upon a time in the land of Sinaplenty

Gb                            Gb5 F5 Eb5 Db5
There lived a king who didn't deserve to be

F7
He knew not where he came from

Gb
Nor where he was going

A                                  Ab
He never once said thank u, never please
VERSE 2
Db                          Fm
Now this king had a subject named Electra

Gb                                Gb5 F5 Eb5 Db5
Who loved him with a passion uncontested

F7
4 him each day she had a smile

       Gb
But it didn't matter

A                                  Ab
The king was looking 4 the ladder

Everybody's looking for the ladder

Gb                        Gb5 F5 Eb5 Db5
Everybody wants salvation of the soul

    F7                               Gb
The steps you take are no easy road

          A                                    Ab
But the reward is great 4 those that want to go
VERSE 3
Db                                     Fm
A feeling of self worth will caress u

Gb                                       Gb5 F5 Eb5 Db5
The size of the whole wide world will decrease

F7                                 Gb
The love of God's creation will undress u

A                                   Ab
And time spent alone my friend will cease
CHORUS 2

Everybody's looking for the answers

Gb                        Gb5 F5 Eb5 Db5
How the story started and how it will end

F7                               Gb
   Whats the use in half a story    half a dream

  A                                 Ab
U have to climb the steps inbetween

Db                            Fm
Everybody's looking for the ladder

Everybody wants salvation of the soul
