[Verse 1]
[D][Bm][A][Bm]
[D]Onc[A]e u[D]pon
[A]a time in a king[G]dom ill-defined
[D]A A dark-eyed prince prince sat side
[A]ways on [Bm]his throne[A]
And he cast [D]aside the thought[A]s
of his prin[G]cess long [D]and lost
And decided he'd live prin
[A]cipally [Bm]alone[A]

[Verse 2]
So he built [A]himself a castle made of stum
[G]bling block[D]s and bricks
And he filled [A]the mote with crocodile
[G]tears and oth[A]er tricks
[Bm]But he forgot to build the doorway,
[G]he forgot to [D]build the gate
[A]So he had[D] to build a catapul[G]t just to knock
[A]the wall [D]away
[Bm][A][Bm]

[Verse 3]
[D][A]
And he'd ven[D]ture out [A]at night,
bejeweled [G]and [D]erudite
And he'd ride from town to town
[A]and farm [Bm]to farm[A]
And he'd laugh [D]at [A]all the sheep and at the com
[G]pany [D]they keep
And he'd burn down all [A]the churches
and [Bm]the barns[A]

[Verse 4]
Until he'd find a proper damsel, [G]then he'd play
the prop[D]er prince
And he'd lead [A]her home with apples
and a prom[G]ise on [A]a stick
Til she'd fall [Bm]upon the pillow,
[G]the[D]n he'd fall upon the dawn
[A]And he'd close his[D] eyes to hers a[G]nd then just dream
[A]that she [D]was gone[A][D][Bm]
[A][Bm][D][A]

[Verse 5]
So he swore [D]upon [A]the crown that he'd melt
[G]desire [D]down
And he boarded up [A]his windows
and his eye[Bm]s
[A]But he still cou[D]ld hea[A]r the sound
of the rain [G]upon [D]the ground
And he still could feel [A]his face against
[Bm]the sky[A]

[Verse 6]
And how the birds and [A]how the bees,
they each took turn[G]s upon [D]their knees
And how the [A]â??Take me if you dare toâ?? turned
[G]to â??Thank you if [A]you pleaseâ??
And how the nectar [Bm]in the flowers[G]
[D]and how the flowers on t[A]he vine
They'd turn [D]his blood from fever [G]into honey-juice
and [A]an d [D]wine[A]
[Bm][A][Bm][D]

[Verse 7]
[A]
And he knew [D]that [A]it was true,
in the crumb[G]s that nature [D]threw
And that ever-after always always
[A]ends [Bm]the tale[A]
And that some[D]where in dis[A]guise there was a
[G]girl with lan[D]tern eyes
Who could fill the darkest [A]shadows
with [Bm]detail[A]

[Verse 8]
So he'd build [A]another tower just to tear
[G]another [D]down
[A]And he'd lay a trail of candles
from his castle [G]into [A]town
But if you go [Bm]there please [G]be careful,
and if you leave [D]there please [A]be quick
'Cause he'll rob [D]your eyes of col[G]or and your bones
[A]to make more [D]bricks[A][D][Bm]

[Outro 1]
