Swan Lake (Schwanensee) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]This is the tale of Si[Am]egfried,
who went [Em]hunting at Swan Lake,
and thereby met the most beautiful being,
[C]a pri[Em]ncess,
who had [C]been turned into a swan
[Em]by an evil sorceress.
[C]Fascinate[Em]d, he stands there,
attempting to understand
the hidden meaning,
for he [C]has fallen in [Em]love
Eternally with her dark eye[D]s.
Who are you, gentle [Bm]queen of swans?
You look [Am]so divine.
[C]Can I [F#]make you [B]mine?[Em]
[D]Rescue me.
Enter [Bm]soft voice calls.
Break [Am]the spell of [C]wise.
Take [F]away the tears shining [F#]in my ey[B]es[Em].
I swear to [C]live [Em]eternally,
please take my [C]heart [Em]forever[C]more
[Em]I'll break the spell[C] and set y[Em]ou free,
for you're the [C]one I've waited [Em]for
[D]Late at night when the [Bm]lights are low
Hears [Am]someone say,
[C]I'm the [F#]Queen of [B]Swans
[Em]Evil[D] magic begins [Bm]to flow
She makes [Am]him believe
[Gm]That she's reall[F]y the maid[Am]en,
the [B]queen of his [Am]heart
[F]Little did [Am]he kn[B]ow she
might have the [Am]start
[F]He holds her close,
but there's truth [B]up his sleeve
[F]It's a madness for what [B]he has done
[F]Crying out there in the [Am]night[D#]
Never [D#aug]to sleep[Baug][Em][B][Em][F#]
[Em]She lied
From the corner of his eye
Siegfried sees his love disappearing
into the darkness
and awakens from this evil spell.
He follows her and from a distance
he can hear her voice calling
[D]desperately.
me my [Bm]queen of swans,
why must [Am]you beg[Gsus4]un
liv[C]ing [F#]there of [B]dawn?[Em]
[D]Follows her till the bre[Bm]ak of dawn,
finds his [Am]landing [C]there at the [F]lake of swans,
and he [F#]speaks to [B]her,
[Em]I'll swear to love eternally,
please take my heart [C]forevermore
[Em]I'll break the spell and set you free,
for you're [C]the one I've waited [Em]for
[D]And she glides through
the [Bm]morning light,
Far out [Am]in the lake,
in this [F#]vast, [B]prairie.[Em]
[D]Starman rises, she's out[Bm] of sight,
But his [Am]heart, [Gm]so strong,
Leads him [F]into the waves,
[Am]he fight[B]s for his life.
[Am]His feel[F]ings so strong,
that [B]love will survive.
[Am]Faces [F]far outpouring hea[B]ven and you
Gra[F]cious earth,
the depths [B]we told them true
This [F]one is a failing one's [Am]heart
[D#]An d can this be i[B]t?[Baug][B]
[F#]I sw[Em]ear to love eternal[B]ly,[Em]
for now the evil spell has [B]come.
[Em]The evil spell did not work,
love is [Em]stronger than anything,
even stronger than death.
