[Verse 1]

The | Emrusted chains of Em(#5)prison moons

Are | Em6shattered by the Em(#5)sun

I | Emwalk a road, hoEm(#5)rizons change

The | Em6tournament's beEm(#5)gun

The | Ampurple piper Am(#5)plays his tune

The | Am6choir softly Am(#5)sing

Three | Emlullabies in an Em(#5)ancient tongue

[Verse 2]

The | Emkeeper of the Em(#5)city keys

Put | Em6shutters on the Em(#5)dreams

I | Emwait outside the Em(#5)pilgrim's door

With | Em6insufficient Em(#5)schemes

The | Amblack queen chants the Am(#5)funeral march

The | Am6cracked brass bells will Am(#5)ring

| EmTo summon back the Em(#5)fire witch

[Verse 3]

The | Emgardener plants an Em(#5)evergreen

Whilst | Em6trampling on a Em(#5)flower

I | Emchase the wind of a Em(#5)prism ship

To | Em6taste the sweet and Em(#5)sour

The | Am6orchestra beAm(#5)gin

As | Emslowly turns the Em(#5)grinding wheel

[Verse 4]

On | Emsoft gray mornings Em(#5)widows cry

The | Em6wise men share a Em(#5)joke

I | Emrun to grasp diEm(#5)vining signs
