Regina Spektor - legend.
Surprised at lack of tabs for this, so thought I'd do one myself.
Then I realised this song does not transcribe well for guitar.

[Verse]
Am C/E
I'm the king's thirty second son
Dm7/A Bm7/A A5
Born to him in thirty second's time
Am Cmaj/E
Born to him the night still young
Csus2 Em7
Born to him with two eyebrows on
Dm7/A Bm7/A Csus2 Em7
And that's all I was wearing
Dm7/A Bm7/A Csus2 Em7
When I woke up staring at the world

Am C/E
My mom had been a rather crazy queen
Dm7/A Bm7/A A5
But not at all a sex machine
Am Cmaj/E
She liked to keep her body clean, clean
Csus2 Em7
Thought the world to be quite obscene
Dm7/A Bm7/A Csus2 Em7
But she retired to her chamber
Dm7/A Bm7/A Csus2 Em7
And we remain quite strangers

[Bridge]
Fsus2 Am7
And to see me made her awful sad
Fsus2 Am7
And to touch me made her awful sad
Fsus2 Am7
And to see me made her awful
Fsus2 Am7
And to touch me made her awful

[Verse]
Am C/E
I'm the king's thirty second son
Dm7/A Bm7/A A5
And all it took was thirty second's time
Am Cmaj/E
But a spoiled little prince I was not
Csus2 Em7
Had a chamber maid and a chamber pot
Dm7/A Bm7/A Csus2 Em7
And there's thirty one others just like me
Dm7/A Bm7/A Csus2 Em7
There's thirty one others I can be


Am C/E
Someimtes I'd stand by the royal wall
Dm7/A Bm7/A A5
The sky'd be so big that it broke my soul
Am Cmaj/E
And i stood on my toes to catch a glimpse
Csus2 Em7
Of my mother's eyes and my mother's skin
Dm7/A Bm7/A Csus2 Em7
And she retired to her chamber
Dm7/A Bm7/A Csus2 Em7
And we remain quite strangers

[Bridge]
Fsus2 Am7
And to see me made her awful sad
Fsus2 Am7
And to touch me made her awful sad
Fsus2 Am7
And to see me made her awful
Fsus2 Am7
And to touch me made her awful

[Pre-chorus]
Esus4
And one morning I woke up
F
And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
Esus4 F
Then one morning I woke up and I thought Rex, Rex, Rex

Then one morning I woke up

And I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus

[Verse]
Am C/E
I'm the king's thirty second son
Dm7/A Bm7/A A5
There's thirty one others just like me
Am Cmaj/E
There's thirty one others on the way
Csus2 Em7
There's thirty one others after that

Am C/E
Sometimes I stand by the royal gate
Dm7/A Bm7/A A5
People screaming love and hate
Am Cmaj/E
And they scream and they scream and they scream and they scream
Csus2 Em7 Dm7/A Bm7/A
Long live the king, long live the queen

Fsus2 Am7
And to see me made her awful sad

Thirty two, thirty two

Thirty two, thirty two
Thirty two, thirty two

[Chorus]
A5 Bm5 Csus5 Bm5
Long live the king
Bm5 Csus5 Bm5 A5
Long live the king
A5 Bm5 Csus5 Bm5
Long live the king

Like I said, it doesn't sound very good on guitar, but it's as close as I can get it.
