The | Am rusted chains of | Amb6 prison moons are| Am6 shattered by the | Amb6 sun. | | | |
| |
I | Am walk a road, ho| Amb6 rizons change the| Am6 tournament's be| Amb6 gun. | | | |
| |
The | Dm purple piper | Dmb6 plays his tune,the | Dm6 choir softly | Dmb6 sing; | | | |
| |
three | Am lullabies in an | Amb6 ancient tongue,for the | Amb court of the crimson | | | |

The | Am keeper of the | Amb6 city keys put| Am6 shutters on the | Amb6 dreams. | | | |
| |
I | Am wait outside the Amb6 pilgrim's door with| Am6 insufficient | Amb6 schemes. | | | |
| |
The | Dm black queen chants the | Dmb6 funeral march, the| Dm6 cracked brass bells will | Dmb6 ring; | | | |
| |
to | Am summon back the | Amb6 fire witch to the| Am6 court of the crimson | | | |

The | Am gardener plants an | Amb6 evergreen whilst| Am6 trampling on a | Amb6 flower. | | | |
| |
I | Am chase the wind of a | Amb6 prism ship to| Am6 taste the sweet and | Amb6 sour. | | | |
| |
The | Dm pattern juggler | Dmb6 lifts his hand;the| Dm6 orchestra be| Dmb6 gin. | | | |
| |
As | Am slowly turns the | Amb6 grinding wheelin the | Am6 court of the crimson | | | |

On | Am soft grey mornings | Amb6 widows cry, the| Am6 wise men share a | Amb6 joke; | | | |
| |
I | Am run to grasp di-| Amb6 vining signs to| Am6 satisfy the | Amb6 hoax. | | | |
| |
The | Dm yellow jester | Dmb6 does not play but| Dm6 gently pulls the | Dmb6 strings, | | | |
| |
and | Am smiles as the | Amb6 puppets dance in the| Am6 court of the crimson | | | |
