Chords

Probably not accurate, but I wanted to try tabbing out the song for myself and figured I would humbly share it for criticism and suggestions. Thanks for visitin'. G G C C [Verse 1]
    F
You live on your hill

   F           C
So high and so lonely

    G
You toss out your breadcrumbs

   F            C       C7
To those down below

    F
They think you're a king

    F              C
But believe me it's only

  G
Because they're too blinded

   F            C       C7
To know...
[Chorus]
     F
Your castle is dingy

    F          C
And dirty, and dismal

     G
Your carpets are faded

     F             C       C7
Your walls are all grey

       F
There's dust on your silver

    F             C
And cracks in your crystal

    G
And all your young servants

     F        C       C7
Have drifted away
[Verse 2]
      F
There once was a time

        F           C
When your money had meaning

     G
Your diamonds had glitter

    F            C       C7
But now it's all gone

   F
It poisoned your laughter

    F            C
And muffled your singing

    G
You can't even see

         F        C       C7
That it's wrong...
[Chorus]
     F
Your castle is dingy

    F          C
And dirty, and dismal

     G
Your carpets are faded

     F             C       C7
Your walls are all grey

       F
There's dust on your silver

    F             C
And cracks in your crystal

    G
And all your young servants

     F        C       C7
Have drifted away
[Verse 3]
      F
So go back to your sadness

   F            C
Go back to your sorrow

 G
I'll make my bed

     F               C       C7
On a hill 'neath the sky

    F
And lay there, a-listening

         F         C
Till the sun comes tomorrow

  G
Counting the tears

         F        C       C7
That you cry...
[Chorus]
     F
Your castle is dingy

    F          C
And dirty, and dismal

     G
Your carpets are faded

     F             C       C7
Your walls are all grey

       F
There's dust on your silver

    F             C
And cracks in your crystal

    G
And all your young servants

     F        C       C7
Have drifted away
