Intro:  A          F#m Sixteen years,        A         E              F#m Sixteen banners united over the fields           D             E While the good shepherd grieves           F#m       A           E  Desperate men, desperate women divided,                 F#m              D  E    A Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves.          F#m Fortune calls.         A                E                     F#m I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace,               D                   E                        F#m Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down.               A               E                     F#m She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born,                D    E         A On midsummer's eve, near the tower.   (Interlude)                   F#m The cold-blooded moon.             A                   E  The captain waits above the celebration             F#m           D       E Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid             F#m           A       E Whose ebony face is beyond communication.                F#m                               D         E       A The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.                  F#m They shaved her head.                      A               E She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.             F#m            D            E A messenger arrived with a black nightingale.                   F#m         A                  E I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow,            F#m                               D  E       A Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.

A                  E I rode past destruction in the ditches          F#m                             D               E With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo.          F#m         A                    E Renegade priests and treacherous young witches      F#m                             D   E     A Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.                F#m The palace of mirrors           A              E Where dog soldiers are reflected,             F#m          D          E The endless road and the wailing of chimes,           F#m             A            E The empty rooms where her memory is protected,           F#m                           D        E         A Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times.   (Interlude)                F#m She wakes him up                   A                 E Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking             F#m                D                E Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks.                  F#m           A                   E She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking                  F#m                              D      E      A He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks.                F#m Gentlemen, he said,         A               E                        F#m I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes,                 D                         E I've moved your mountains and marked your cards                F#m                  A          E But Eden is burning, either get brave for elimination               F#m                                 D        E       A Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.   (Interlude)             F#m Peace will come          A           E                         F#m With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire          D          E                         F#m But will offer no reward when her false idols fall     A              E                F#m And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating             D            E           A Between the King and the Queen of Swords.   F#m    A   E F#m...   The "Interlude" is:             Ab    Eb      C#                       Ab
