Am
I've gone against my Sultan,The highest act of treason
F
But I had good intentionsI did it for a reason.
G
They'll kill me if I'm luckyThey'll torture me if not
E
What made me think that I couldGet away with such a plot?
F It's not too late to bring it back E Perhaps I'll be forgiven Am But if my crime can help improve
The world we all must live in
Dm G Am I not bound by duty F G E Am To the people of this nation? F How does the Golden Rule apply E F in such a situation? Am As a citizen I think I would be grateful for the aid F But if I were the Sultan, I should hate to be betrayed Dm Whichever road I take'll only encourage someone's wrath Bb 'Til now I've always traveled down the straight and narrow path Dm G C F Temptation may have beckoned, but I always have resisted, E F But which way do I turn Dm When the road's become so... so...

[URSULA, spoken]
Twisted?
[JA'FAR, spoken]
Who are you?
[URSULA, spoken]
A fellow traveler down a twisted path.
[JA'FAR, spoken]:
I know you from Sherrezade's stories!
[URSULA, spoken]:
Uh-uh-uh. You think you know me, as others think they know you, but there are two sides to every story.
[URSULA]
Am Am/E Am Am/E I used to be the ruler of the ocean Am Am/E B7 I was benevolent and always kept my word E Am But my brother held the antiquated notion F B E That women should be seen and never heard Am B E Am So he dethroned me and disowned me and on top of that rezoned me Dm C# Cm F To the outskirts of the kingdom in a cave Dm E Took my scepter and my crown Am F Though I tried to take him down B7 E The truth and I now share a watery grave F The story lingers on E E7 Am Am/E But the version that is drawn is twisted Am Am/E (G# plucked in bass transition)
[SCAR, spoken]
A pain I know all too well
Am Cm The pride had never seen a more progressive king than me Am Dm Both lion and hyena lived in perfect harmony C B Bm I brought an end to what had been a senseless age-old feud Em E I was prepared for anything except for what ensued Am Cm My brother ate my heirs - my precious cubs! - and stole my throne Am Cm Returned to segregation and the hateful ways we'd known F E Am B Though I'd advocate for unity, I always was denounced F E So when I saw an opportunity to right the wrong - Am E Am I pounced! F E E7 The pride came before my fall in a fate that one might call - Am Am/E Well, twisted

(spoken)
They weren't ready for my ideas
[URSULA, spoken]
No, they didn't hate you because of your ideas.
They hated you because of that evil-looking scar on your face.
Fortune favors the beautiful.
[GASTON, spoken]
Fmaj7 Em Au contraire! My only crime was love. Fmaj7 In town there was only she who was as beautiful as me - on the inside. Em But then, tragedy struck. F She was taken hostage in a castle filled with demonic furniture. Dm Bb So I did what anyone would do and I organized a rescue mission. Am Fmaj7 But how was I to know that she had fallen in love with her captor? Am F E To me, that doesn't seem entirely healthy, especially since he's a wolf-bear thing.
A buffalo monster. In a cape.
F

Am What remains of a man when that man is dead and gone? F Only memories and stories of his deeds will linger on G But if a man's accomplishments aren't in the tale they tell F Dm Are the deeds that go unheralded his legacy as well? F E Am If a war breaks out tomorrow, we'll all have hell to pay Am F Am Why protect my reputation? I'm a dead man either way F C How will they tell my story? F How will they tell my tale? Bb A Dm C Will anybody even care? G Bb The question then is whether 'tis nobler in the mind F To be well-liked but ineffectual, or moral but maligned? D C I'll never be a hero who all the citizens adore G F A But if I hide to save my life, what has my life been for? F A What has my life been for? Am The road ahead may twist F But I will never swerve Dm Bb I'll give them all the unsung antihero they deserve F I've nothing left to lose E Am Dm So the only path to choose is twisted F Let them twist my words, let the people scorn me D Who cares if no one will ever mourn me? C E7 Am Dm Let them bury the side of the story they'll never learn F Bb Let the truth be twisted Am D Let my life be twisted Bb Bb7 Em Am I'll be twisted, it's my turn!
