[Verse 1]
[G]I used to pla[D]y the trumpet
once [Em]but now I play guitar
[C]Som[G]ebody tol[Em]d you it's
more [Am]mellow.[D]
Well I've [G]played a lot of [D]music since but I
[Em]really haven't grown that [C]far
[G]Some[Em]body said that you're
[Am]just yellow.
[C]So I keep it

[Verse 2]
[D]up on [G]the shelf
And it's [Em]funny how [C]you
keep it [D]all to your[G]self
[D]Hey hon[Em]ey, cou[C]ld there ever be,[D]
[G]Should there [D]ever [Em]be,
[C]Could there ever [D]be something
[G]else?
[F][C][D][G][F][C]

[Verse 3]
[D]
You know I used [G]to swing my silver [D]sword,
the [Em]dragons [C]hit the ground
[G]Whatever hap[Em]pened to the maidens[Am]?
[D]Well I'd swi[G]ng my silver sword aga[D]in
and [Em]they would all fall [C]down
Would you [G]leave them lying [Em]there
where you had [Am]laid [D]them?
And I [G]used to have a

[Verse 4]
[D]country once,
[Em]where it's gone I do [C]not know.
[G]Where do you[Em] think you
might have [Am]lost [D]it?
[G]I used to raise [D]the flag at dawn,
but [Em]that [D]was very long [C]ago
[G]Maybe you can[Em] find it
where [Am]you tossed [D]it.
Well [C]I tossed it

[Verse 5]
[D]up on the[G] shelf
And it's [Em]funny how [C]you've
kept it [D]all for yourself
Hey [Em]honey, [C]could there ever [D]be,
[G]Should there [D]ever [Em]be,
[C]Could there ever [D]be something
[G]else?

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][D][G][F][C][D]

[Verse 6]
I [G]used to say my [D]prayers boys,
[Em]I used to sing the [C]hymns
[G]Even the ech[Em]o's disappea[Am]ring.[D]
They've [G]broken the stained win[F#dim]dows,
[Ebdim]the cathedral's[Em] getting dim.[C]
[G]Then what is this [Em]dirge
that we [Am]are hear[D]ing?

[Verse 7]
Well it [C]comes [D]from up on [G]the shelf
And it's [Em]funny how [C]you
sing it [D]only for your[G]self
[D]Hey hon[Em]ey, cou[C]ld there ever be,[D]
[G]Should there [D]ever [Em]be,
[C]Could there ever [D]be something
else?
[G][D][Em][C][D]

[Verse 8]
Well, I used to [G]have a lover [D]once,
I [Em]used to have [C]a friend
[G]How in the[Em] hell you ever
[Am]find [D]one?
[G]My song is almost over [D]now, my
[Em]story's at [C]an end
You [G]lived yourself a good [Em]life
but [Am]a blind [D]one.

[Verse 9]
Well I've [C]hidden there
[D]up on the[G] shelf
And it's [Em]funny how [C]you've
kept it [D]all for your[G]self
[D]Hey hon[Em]ey, cou[C]ld there ever be,[D]
[G]Should there [D]ever [Em]be,
[C]Could there ever [D]be something
