F#m7            C#m7
There was a man

F#m7        C#m7
who walked alone

F#m7             Dmaj7 C#m7 F#m7 E    Dmaj7  C#m7
searching for the girl who  had  just caught his

F#m7              C#m7
"I was a fool!" he cried

F#m7                C#m7
His mind had wandered

   F#m7        Dmaj7   C#m7  F#m7 E   Dmaj7 C#m7
he blinked and the sky moved ever so slight-ly

F#m7                 C#m7        F#m7              C#m7
He searched the city and she was nowhere to be found

F#m7            Dmaj7   C#m7 F#m7 E      Dmaj7  C#m7
meanwhile she was   floating down-ward,   downward

[Verse 2]
F#m7            C#m7
There lie the lady

F#m7                C#m7
Naked and yet not knowing

F#m7     Dmaj7 C#m7 F#m7 E  Dmaj7 C#m7
A spell, it gains her heart forever

F#m7                         C#m7
Preyed upon by the wolves in Time Square

F#m7                  C#m7
Fell into an abyss of thin air

F#m7    Dmaj7 C#m7 F#m7 E Dmaj7 C#m7
Inno-cent-ly caged in sanc-tu-ary

F#m7          C#m7        F#m7             C#m7
There sat the dragon lord, playing so-li-tary

F#m7            Dmaj7    C#m7   F#m7 E      Dmaj7  C#m7
Defying the rules of the holy mores leap hell's kitchen

F#m7            C#m7
Suddenly a voice was heard

F#m7            C#m7
Flash the brave young man appeared

F#m7            Dmaj7 C#m7 F#m7 E    Dmaj7  C#m7
The dragon whirled and cut him with his tail

F#m7               C#m7
Chased him through the stairway

F#m7               C#m7
Caught him halfway to the top

F#m7              C#m7
Sent him whirling down

F#m7       Dmaj7   C#m7  F#m7 E   Dmaj7 C#m7
Fireballs, sum-mer    sol-stice

F#m7          C#m7    F#m7        C#m7
Dragon lord descended down on him

F#m7            Dmaj7   C#m7 F#m7 E      Dmaj7  C#m7
She turned and looked but saw only darkness, silence
