The Princess Of Pure Delight Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D][Eb][Dm][Eb][D][A][Eb][Edim]
[Bb]The [A]Prin[D]ce in Orange[Bb],
and the [D]Prince in Blue,
[Bb]and the [D]Prince whose r[Eb]aiment
was of [E]lavender [Edim]hue.[A]
They sighed, [D]and they suffered,
[Dm]and they tosse[D]d at n[Dm]ight
for [Bb]the neighbor[A]ing princess
of [D]pure delight,
[Dm]who was [D]secretly i[A]n love with the [D]minstrel.
A father, the [Bb]king,
didn't [A]know which to choose.
There [Bb]were two charming suitors
he'd [A]have to refuse.
So he [Bm]called for the dean
of [A]the sorcerer's hand.
In[D]quired which one [Bb]was
to win her [A]hand.
[D]He was the sort of the voice
of exper[E]ience.
[A]My [D]king, here's a [Bb]riddle.
You test them tonight.
What word of [D]five letters
[Eb]is never spelt right?
[A]What word of fiv[F]e letter[Bb]s
is always spelt wrong?
The [A]one who can answer
will be [D]wedded ere [E]long.[A]
[D]The kin[E]g called the thr[F]ee
and he [D]told them the test
And [A]while his [Bb]fair daughter
kept [A]beating her breast
He put them [Bm]the [A]riddle,
they failed as he feared
Then [D]all of a sudden the
minstrel [A]appeared
[D]Jack [Dm]Dalton of the [Ddim]U .S. Marin[Dm]es![G]
I'll [D]answer that riddle,
[A]cried the singer of son[Bb]g.
[Dm]What's never spelt right
in five letters [Bb]is wrong,
And it's [E]right to spell wrong,
W -R -O -N [A]-G.
Your High[Bb]ness,
the princess belon[A]geth to [Bb]me.[F]
An[Bm]d I love her anyway.
[A]Yes, I do.
[D]Be off with you, villain,
[Bb]the [D]king cried in [Bb]rage,
For [D]my prince is a prince,
[E]not a man from the stage.
[A]But Sia[D]s hath a minstrel,
[Bb]tis [D]love makes me save.
[A]No king who's a real king
treats [D]lovers this way.
What would Emily Post [A]think?[D][Dm]
And [D]if you're [G]no real king,
no prin[A]cess is she.
And [Bb]if she's no princess,
[A]then she can wed me.
By gad[B]fright, [Bm]his high[Bb]ness,
you hand[A]some young knave.
I [D]fear me all right,
and his bless[E]ing he [A]gave.
As the trumpet man yelled,
send me Jackson.
[D]Oh, the princess quickly came
[Bm]out of h[B]er swoon[E].
She [A]looked at her swain
[B]and her wor[E]ld was in tun[A]e.
The [D]castle soon rang with [Bm]cheer
and with [Db]laughter.
And of [E]course, as you suspected,
they were [A]very, very happy ever
[D]after.[Ddim][Fdim][E]
[D]
