Tragic Kingdom

Intro:		(Fig. 1)

Verse 1:	(Fig. 2)
		Once was a magical place
		Over time it was lost
		Price increased the cost
		Now the fortune of the kingdom
		Is locked up in its dungeon vaults
		The castle floor lies in traps
		With coiled wires set back
		Decoyed by old cheese
		Now the drawbridge has been lifted
		As the millions
		They drop to their knees

Chorus:		Dm Bb } 4x
		The pay homage to a king
		Whose dreams are buried in their minds
		His tears are frozen stiff
		Icicles drip from his eyes

Verse 2:	(Fig. 2)
		The cold wind blows as it snows
		On those who fight to get in
		On heads that are small
		Disillusioned as they enter
		They're unaware what's behind castle walls
		But now it's written in stone
		The king has been overthrown by jesterly fools
		And the power of the people
		Shall come to believe they do rule

Chorus:		Dm Bb } 4x
		The pay homage to a king
		Whose dreams are buried in their minds
		His tears are frozen stiff
		Icicles drip from his eyes

		(Fig. 3) } 2x

		Welcome to the tragic kingdom
		Cornfields of popcorn have yet to spring open

		(Fig. 4) } 2x

Interlude:	F#m C# E B } 2x
		Have they lost their heads
		Or are they just al blind mice
		We've heard all their stories
		One too many times
		(F#m Fm Em D#m (B))
		Hypnotized by fireflies
		That glow in the dark
		Midgets that disguise themselves
		As tiny little dwarfs
		The parade that's electrical
		It serves no real purpose
		Just takes up a lot of juice
		Just to impress us
		(missing part, sorry....)

Solo:		(Fig. 5)

Chorus:		Dm Bb } 4x
		The pay homage to a king
		Whose dreams are buried in their minds
		His tears are frozen stiff
		Icicles drip from his eyes

		(Dm Bb)
		Ohoo, they dripped from his eyes into the night
		They dripped from his eyes...
		They pay homage to a king, buried in their minds
		They dripped from his eyes

Outro:		(Fig. 6 part one)
		Welcome to the tragic kingdom
		Cornfields op popcorn have yet to spring open
		(Fig. 6 part two x)
		Welcome to the tragic kingdom
		Welcome to the tragic kingdom
		Welcome to the tragic kingdom
		Welcome to the tragic kingdom
		Welcome to the tragic kingdom
		(and more and more and more)
