Key: G
Introduction:
Gm Dm
Moonbeams and twilight
F Em Dm
Sit by the fireside and glow
Gm Dm
Casting grand shadows
F Em Dm
All on the meadows below
Gm Dm
But the old king is quiet
Bb C Dm
Looks into the fire, I think he knows
Gm Dm
That his bubble has burst
Bb C Dm
And what's worse is now it shows
F C
His old world is changing
Dm C Bb
But he don't notice at all
F C
His kingdom is crumbling
Dm C Bb C
But he can't see it and so, oh
Gm Am Dm
Some kings just don't care
Gm Am Dm
Happy just to stare and stare
Gm Am
And bad things will happen
Gm Am Dm
That cause old castles to fall
Gm Dm
He could have done something
F Em Dm
Inspired a tired old Earth
Gm Dm
Done something good, done something right
F Em Dm
With which the people could unite and grow
F C
For their old world is changing
Dm C Bb
But they don't notice at all
F C
Their kingdoms are crumbling
Dm C Bb C
But they can't see it and so, oh
Gm Am Dm
Some kings just can't say no
Gm Am Dm
They'll take till there's nothing to grow
Gm Am
And bad things will happen
Gm Am Dm
That cause old castles to fall
Gm Am
For its roots are rotten
Gm Am
Its old walls and all
Gm Am
And bad things will happen
Gm Am
That cause old castles
Gm Am
Cause old castles
Gm Am Dm Gm C D
Cause old castles to fall Oh
