Verse 1
Bm
The soldier
G
came knocking upon the queen's door
D
A
He said, "I am not fighting
D
A
for you any more"
Bm
The queen knew she'd seen
G
his face someplace before
D
A
And slowly she let him inside.
Verse 2
D
Bm
He said, "I've watched your
G
palace up here on the hill
D
A
And I've wondered who's the
D
A
woman for whom we all kill
Bm
But I am leaving tomorrow
G
and you can do what you will
D
A
D
Only first I am asking you why."
Verse 3
G
Down in the long narrow
D
hall he was led
Esus4
E
Into her rooms with her tapestries red
Bm
And she never once took
G
the crown from her head
D
A
She asked him there to sit down.
D
Verse 4
Bm
He said, "I see you now,
G
and you are so very young
D
A
But I've seen more battles lost
D
A
than I have battles won
B
Bm
And I've got this intuition,
G
says it's all for your fun
D
A
D
And now will you tell me why?"
Verse 5
Bm
Well the young queen,
G
she fixed him with an arrogant eye
D
A
She said, "You won't understand,
D
A
and you may as well not try"
Bm
But her face was a child's,
G
and he thought she would cry
D
A
D
But she closed herself up like a fan.
Verse 6
G
And she said,
D
"I have swallowed a secret burning thread
E
Esus4
E
It cuts me inside, and often I've bled"
Bm
G
He laid his hand then on top of her head
D
A
D
G
And he bowed her down to the ground.

Verse 7
Bm
"Tell me how hungry are you? How
G
weak you must feel
D
A
As you are living here alone,
D
A
and you are never revealed
B
Bm
But I won't march again
G
on your battlefield"
D
A
D
And he took her to the window to see.
Verse 8
Bm
And the sun, it was gold,
G
though the sky, it was gray
D
A
And she wanted more than
D
A
she ever could say
B
Bm
But she knew how it frightened her,
G
and she turned away
D
A
And would not look at his
D
face again.
Verse 9
G
And he said,
D
"I want to live as an honest man
Esus4
E
To get all I deserve and to
Esus4
give all I can
Bm
And to love a young woman
G
who I don't understand
D
Your highness,
A
D
your ways are very strange."
Verse 10
Bm
But the crown, it had fallen,
G
and she thought she would break
D
And she stood there,
A
D
A
ashamed of the way her heart ached
Bm
She took him to the doorstep and she
G
asked him to wait
D
A
D
She would only be a moment inside.
Verse 11
Bm
Out in the distance her
G
order was heard
D
A
And the soldier was killed,
D
A
still waiting for her word
Bm
And while the queen went on strangling
G
in the solitude she preferred
D
A
D
A
The battle continued on.
