There was a king who ruled the land
     
    Bsus4  Asus4 G6    F#7sus4
His Majesty was in command
     
     Bsus4  Asus2    G6      F#7sus4 Bsus4  Asus2  G6     F#7sus4
With silver eyes the scarlet eagle showered silver on the people

Oh____, mother, tell me more
     
N.C.
Why'd you have to leave me there,
     
                          B
Hanging in my infant air, waiting?
     
N.C.
You only have to read the lines of scribbly black and ev'rything shines

Across the stream with wooden shoes,
     
Bsus4    Asus2    G6       F#7sus4
Bells to tell the king the news,

A thousand misty riders climb up higher once upon a time
     
G     D       A
Wondering and dreaming
     
    G          D         E
The words have different meanings

Yes, they did
     
     
   Bsus4   Asus4      G6      F#7sus4
Of all the time spent in that room,
     
    Bsus4        Asus2     G6     F#7sus4
The doll's house darkness, old perfume,
     
    Bsus4 Asus2   G6      F#7sus4 Bsus4     Asus2         G6  F#7sus4
And fairy stories held me high on clouds of sunlight floating by
     
G   D   A       G    D  E
Oh____, mother, tell me more
     
A    G  E
Tell me more
