Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

A

 Sixteen F♯myears,

 SixteenA banners uEnited over the F♯mfields

 While the Dgood shepherd Egrieves

 Desperate F♯mmen, despeArate women dEivided,

 Spreading their F♯mwings 'neath the DfalEling Aleaves.

 Fortune F♯mcalls.

 I steppeAd forth from the Eshadows, to the marketF♯mplace,

 Merchants and Dthieves, hungry for Epower, my last deal gone F♯mdown.

 She's smellingA sweet like the Emeadows where she was F♯mborn,

 On midsummer's Deve, Enear the tAower.

(Interlude)

 The cold-blooded F♯mmoon.

 The captain Awaits above the celeEbration

 Sending his F♯mthoughts to a Dbeloved Emaid

 Whose ebony F♯mface is beyondA communiEcation.

 The captain is F♯mdown but still believing that his Dlove will Ebe repaiAd.

 They shaved her F♯mhead.

 She was torn between AJupiter and ApolElo.

 A messenger F♯marrived with a Dblack nightinEgale.

 I seen her on the F♯mstairs and IA couldn't help but Efollow,

 Follow her F♯mdown past the fountain where they DlifEted her Aveil.

(Interlude)

 I stumbled to my F♯mfeet.

 I rode past Adestruction in the Editches

 With the F♯mstitches still mending 'neath a Dheart-shaped tatEtoo.

 Renegade F♯mpriests and Atreacherous young witEches

 Were F♯mhanding out the flowers that I'dD givEen to Ayou.

 The palace of F♯mmirrors

 Where dog Asoldiers are reEflected,

 The endless F♯mroad and the Dwailing of Echimes,

 The empty F♯mrooms where her Amemory is proEtected,

 Where the F♯mangels' voices whisper to the Dsouls of Eprevious tAimes.

(Interlude)

 She wakes him F♯mup

 Forty-eight hours Alater, the sun is Ebreaking

 Near broken F♯mchains, mountain laDurel and rolling Erocks.

 She's begging to F♯mknow what measAures he now will be Etaking

 He's pulling her F♯mdown and she's clutching on to hiDs long Egolden Alocks.

 Gentlemen, he F♯msaid,

 I don't Aneed your organiEzation, I've shined your F♯mshoes,

 I've moved your Dmountains and marked your Ecards

 But Eden is burF♯mning, either get bravAe for elimiEnation

 Or else your hF♯mearts must have the courage for the Dchanging Eof the gAuards.

(Interlude)

 Peace will F♯mcome

 With tranAquility and Esplendor on the wheels of F♯mfire

 But will Doffer no reEward when her false idols F♯mfall

 And Acruel death surErenders with its F♯mpale ghost retreating

 Between the DKing and the EQueen of SwoArds.
