Intro: [Ab]
[Fm]
Sixteen years,
[Ab] [Eb] [Fm]
Sixteen banners united over the fields
[Db] [Eb]
While the good shepherd grieves
[Fm] [Ab] [Eb]
Desperate men, desperate women divided,
[Fm] [Db] [Eb] [Ab]
Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves.
[Fm]
Fortune calls.
[Ab] [Eb] [Fm]
I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace,
[Db] [Eb] [Fm]
Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down.
[Ab] [Eb] [Fm]
She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born,
[Db] [Eb] [Ab]
On midsummer's eve, near the tower.
(Interlude)
[Fm]
The cold-blooded moon.
[Ab] [Eb]
The captain waits above the celebration
[Fm] [Db] [Eb]
Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid
[Fm] [Ab] [Eb]
Whose ebony face is beyond communication.
[Fm] [Db] [Eb] [Ab]
The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.
[Fm]
They shaved her head.
[Ab] [Eb]
She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.
[Fm] [Db] [Eb]
A messenger arrived with a black nightingale.
[Fm] [Ab] [Eb]
I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow,
[Fm] [Db] [Eb] [Ab]
Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.
(Interlude)
[Fm]
I stumbled to my feet.
[Ab] [Eb]
I rode past destruction in the ditches
[Fm] [Db] [Eb]
With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo.
[Fm] [Ab] [Eb]
Renegade priests and treacherous young witches
[Fm] [Db] [Eb] [Ab]
Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.
[Fm]
The palace of mirrors
[Ab] [Eb]
Where dog soldiers are reflected,
[Fm] [Db] [Eb]
The endless road and the wailing of chimes,
[Fm] [Ab] [Eb]
The empty rooms where her memory is protected,
[Fm] [Db] [Eb] [Ab]
Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times.
(Interlude)
[Fm]
She wakes him up
[Ab] [Eb]
Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking
[Fm] [Db] [Eb]
Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks.
[Fm] [Ab] [Eb]
She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking
[Fm] [Db] [Eb] [Ab]
He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks.
[Fm]
Gentlemen, he said,
[Ab] [Eb] [Fm]
I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes,
[Db] [Eb]
I've moved your mountains and marked your cards
[Fm] [Ab] [Eb]
But Eden is burning, either get brave for elimination
[Fm] [Db] [Eb] [Ab]
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.
(Interlude)
[Fm]
Peace will come
[Ab] [Eb] [Fm]
With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire
[Db] [Eb] [Fm]
But will offer no reward when her false idols fall
[Ab] [Eb] [Fm]
And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating
[Db] [Eb] [Ab]
Between the King and the Queen of Swords.
[Fm] [Ab] [Eb]
[Fm]...
The "Interlude" (that the sax plays) is:

One word of note: It is much easier to play this song with a capo on the
first fret (i.e. play Em G D Em C D... while the 1st fret is fretted). This
makes it more easier and does not make the guitar sound too choppy.
