Return to Oz Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Once there was a man,
Who had a little too [C]much,[G]
Time on his hand[E]s,
He never stopped to think,
That he was getting [F]older.
When his [Am]night came to an end,
He tried to [G#]grasp for his last friend,
And pretend,
[Eb]That he could wish himself [Gm]health,
On a four-leaf clover.

[Verse 2]
clover[F].

[Verse 3]
He said is [G#]this the Return to Oz?
The grass is dead
[C#]The gold is brown
[E]And the sky has cla[G#]ws.
there's a wind-up man
man
Walking round and round.
What [Db]once was Emerald [E]City's
Now a Crystal [G#]Town

[Verse 4]
[Am]It's three o'clock in the morning,
You get a [C]phone call
From [G]the queen with a [E]hundred heads
She says that they're all [F]dead
She tried the [Am]last one on
It couldn't speak, fell off
And now [G#]she just wanders the halls
Thinking [Eb]nothing
[Gm]Thinking nothing at al[F]l

[Verse 5]
She says is [G#]this the Return to Oz?
The grass is dead
[C#]The gold is brown
[E]And the sky has cla[G#]ws.
there's a wind-up man
man
Walking round and round.
What [C#]once was Emerald [E]City's
Now a Crystal [G#]Town

[Verse 6]
[Am]The wheelies are cutting pavement
[C]And the Skeksis at [G]the rave met
[E]To hide deep inside
Their sunken [F]faces
And their wild rolling eye[Am]s
But their callous words re[G#]veal
That they can no longer [Eb]feel
Love or [Gm]sex appeal
The [F]patchwork girl has
come to cinch [G#]the deal

[Verse 7]
To return to Oz [C#]We've
fled the world
[E]With smiles and clenching [G#]jaws
Please help me friend from coming down
I've [C#]lost my place and
[E]now it can't be [G#]found
Is this the Return to Oz?
The grass is dead
[C#]The gold is brown
[E]And the sky has cla[G#]ws.
there's a wind-up man
man
Walking round and round.
What [C#]once was Emerald City's
[E]Now a Crystal Tow[G#]n
