The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
Csus9 Gsus4/B Csus9 G
He said: "I am not fighting for you anymore"
Am Am Fsus9 Fsus9
And the queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
Csus2 Gsus4/B Csus9 Csus9
And slowly she let him inside
Am Am Fsus9 Fsus9
He said: "I've watched your palace up here on the hill
Csus9 Gsus4/B Csus9 G
And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill
Am Am Fsus9 Fsus9
But I am leaving tomorrow, and you can do what you will
Csus2 Gsus4/B Csus9 Csus9
Only first I am asking you why"

Down the long narrow hall he was led
D7sus4 D7sus4 D7 Dm7
Into her room with her tapestries red
Am Am Fsus9 Fsus9
And she never once took the crown from her head
Csus9 Gsus4/B Csus9 Csus9 Csus9 Csus9
She asked him there to sit 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
Csus9 Gsus4/B Csus9 Csus9
And he bowed her down to the ground
