A7                 D     A7                       D
  The courtyard is empty -- and the drawbridge is high

D              G           D       G
  My jester is singing his saddest goodbye

      G         F#     D       B7
  I'm king of a lonely castle

            E7                   A7
  Cause the queen of my heart is gone
[Verse 2]
                  D         A7                 D
  My chargers are searching -- the far country side

D7              G             D7            G
  Her ladies in waiting their lonely hearts cry

      G         F#     D      B7
  I'm king of a lonely castle

            E7          A7       D
  Cause the queen of my heart is gone
[Chorus]
      A7                  D
But I don't really have a castle

      A7                       D
And I don't have a throne to ascend

      G          G#m             D           B7
But I did have a queen now she's gone and it seems

          E7                     A7        D
That it's best to pretend with a storybook end

        G         F#     D      B7
And I'm king of a lonely castle

          E7          A7       D
Cause the queen of my heart is gone
[Interlude] | A7 | D | A7 | D | | D7 | G | D7 | G | | G | F# | D | B7 | | E7 | A7 | D | D | [Verse 3]
A7             D      A7                  D
  My banner is flying -- my love from the tower

     D7          G        D         G
  Proclaiming to heaven I die every hour

      G         F#     D       B7
  I'm king of a lonely castle

            E7          A7       D     D7
  Cause the queen of my heart is gone
[Outro]
G               F#     D       B7
  I'm king of a lonely castle

            E7          A7       D
  Cause the queen of my heart is gone
