[Verse]
Am Am F F
The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
He said, "I am not fighting for you anymore"
Am Am F
And the queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
C G Cadd9
And slowly she let him inside
[Chorus]
Am Am F F
He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill
Am Am F F
But I am leaving tomorrow, and you can do what you will
C G Cadd9
Only first I am asking you why"
[Verse]
F F C9 C9
Down the long narrow hall he was led
D7sus4 D7sus4 D7 Dm
Into her room with her tapestries red
Am Am F F
And she never once took the crown from her head
C G Cadd9
She asked him there to sit down
[Chorus]
Am Am F F
He said, "I see you now and you are so very young
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won
Am Am F F
And I've got this intuition says it's all for your fun
C G Cadd9
And now will you tell me why?"
[Verse]
Am Am F F
Well the young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
She said, "You won't understand, and you may as well not try"
Am Am F F
But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry
C G Cadd9
But she closed herself up like a fan
[Chorus]
F F C9 C9
And she said, "I have swallowed a secret burning thread
D7sus4 D7sus4 D7 Dm
It cuts me inside and often I've bled"
Am Am F F
And he laid his hand then on the top of her head
C G Cadd9
And he bowed her down to the ground
[Bridge]
F F C9 C9 D7sus4 D7 Dm
OooooooooooooH
Am Am F F Cadd9 G Cadd9
OooooooooooooooH
[Verse]
Am Am F F
"Tell me how hungry are you, how weak you must feel
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
As you are living here alone and you are never revealed
Am Am F F
But I won't march again on your battlefield"
C G Cadd9
And he took her to the window to see
Am Am F F
And the sun it was gold, though the sky it was grey
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
And she wanted more than she ever could say
Am Am F F
But she knew how it frightened her and she turned away
C G Cadd9
And would not look at his face again
[Chorus]
F F C9 C9
He said, "I want to live as an honest man
D7sus4 D7sus4 D7 Dm
To get all I deserve and to give all I can
Am An F F
And to love a young woman whom I don't understand
C G Cadd9
Your highness, your ways are very strange"
[Verse]
Am Am F F
But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
And she stood there ashamed of the way her heart ached
Am Am F F
And she took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait
C G Cadd9
She would only be a moment inside
(play chords sharply)
Am Am F F
Out in the distance her order was heard
C G C G
And the soldier was killed still waiting for her word
Am Am F F
And while the queen went on strangling in the solitude she preferred
C G C G
The battle continued on
F F C9 C9 D7sus4 D7 Dm
Ooooooooooooooooh
Am Am F F Cadd9 G Cadd9
Oooooooooooooooooh
