Am intr[Amoduçao] Gsus4 B
The Amsoldier came knocking Amupon the queen's door
He said: "I am not fightGsus4ing foBr you anymorGe"
And the queen kneAmw she'd seen his face sAmomeplace before
And slowlyCsus2 she let hGsus4im insBide
He said: "I've Amwatched your palace up heAmre on the hill
And I've wondered who's the woman for wGsus4hom weB all kill G
But I am leavinAmg tomorrowAm, and you can do what you will
Only firCsus2st I am askGsus4ing yoBu why"
Down the long narrow hallC/E he was led C/E
D7sus4Into heD7sus4r room with heD7r tapestries reDm7d
And she Amnever once tAmook the crown from her head
She asked him there Gsus4to sitB down
He said: "I see you now and you are so very young
But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won
And I've got this intuition says it's all for your fun
And now will you tell me why?"
Well the young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye
She said: "You won't understand, and you may as well not try"
But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry
But she closed herself up like a fan
And she said: "I have swallowed a secret burning thread
It cuts me inside and often I've bled"
And he laid his hand then on the top of her head
And he bowed hGsus4er dowBn to the ground

"Tell me how hungry are you, how weak you must feel
As you are living here alone and you are never revealed
But I won't march again on your battlefield"
And he took her to the window to see
And the sun it was gold, though the sky it was grey
And she wanted more than she ever could say
But she knew how it frightened her and she turned away
And would not look at his face again
He said: "I want to live as an honest man
To get all I deserve and to give all I can
And to love a young woman whom I don't understand
Your highness, your ways are very strange"
But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break
And she stood there ashamed of the way her heart ached
And she took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait
She would only be a moment inside
AmOut in the diAmstance her order Fsus2was heard Fsus2
And the soldiC5er was killed stiGsus4ll waiBtinC5g for her word G
And while the queen wentAm on strangling in theAm solitude she preferred
The batC5tle coGsus4ntinueBd on C5 Gsus4 B
