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.

Hanging in my infant air, waiting.

You only have to read the lines of scribbly black and ev'rything shines
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.
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.
