VERSE 1

      Bsus4 Asus2    G6        F#7sus4-9
There was a king who ruled the land.

   Bsus4 Asus2  G6    F#7sus4-9
His Majesty was in command.

     Bsus4  Asus2    G6      F#7sus4-9 
With silver eyes the scarlet eagle 

Bsus4    Asus2  G6     F#7sus4-9
Showered silver on the people.

G   D   A       G    D  E
Ohhhhh, mother, tell me more.

Why'd you have to leave me there?

Hanging in my infant air, waiting.

You only have to read the lines of scribbly black and

ev'rything shines.


VERSE 2

 Bsus4     Asus2       G6     F#7sus4-9
Across the stream with wooden shoes,

Bsus4    Asus2    G6       F#7sus4-9
Bells to tell the king the news,

  Bsus4    Asus2 G6     F#7sus4-9  
A thousand misty riders climb 

   Bsus4  Asus2  G6   F#7sus4-9
Up higher once upon a time.

G     D       A
Wondering and dreaming.

    G          D         E
The words had different meanings.

A    G    E       F#
Yes, they did.



VERSE 3

    Bsus4   Asus2      G6      F#7sus4-9
For all the time spent in that room,

    Bsus4        Asus2     G6     F#7sus4-9
The doll's house darkness, old perfume,

    Bsus4 Asus2   G6      F#7sus4-9 
And fairy stories held me high 

   Bsus4     Asus2         G6  F#7sus4-9
On clouds of sunlight floating by.

G   D   A       G    D  E
Ohhhh, mother, tell me more.

A    G  E
Tell me more.
