                        C   D
There was a castle by a waterfall,
       C              D
With a pink and purple wall,
      C               G

And a princess living there.

                        
She had no parents and was all 
   C   D

alone,

    C             D
She got by on her own,

        G        C      G
And she liked it pretty well.


                          

'Cause she never wore her 
D
socks,

              G
She had a pet snake,

                 D
She bought a red guitar,

                    Em
And she ate a whole cake.


                    C     
And there wasn't anybody there to 
                         D

tell her what to do,
Continúa después del anuncio
       D7           C      
So she did what she wanted 
A

to.

     C                         
Everybody knew the story of the 
 D7            C      D
princess who saved herself.

 C           D
(Princess who saved herself)

 C           D          G
(Princess who saved herself)


                          C      
There was a dragon with a pointy 
D

tail,

       C             D
He was bigger than a whale,
        C                

And his breath was 
 G
terrible.

                              *C   
He scared the princess when he came
  D

 around,

         C               D
Tried to burn the castle down,

        G         
But she caught him by his 
    C   G
tail.


                       D

Then she tied him to a tree,

                       G
So the dragon couldn't fly,
                    D

She told him he was mean,

                       Em
And it made the dragon cry.


                  C           
When he finally apologized she 
                  D

offered him some tea,

   D7              A
He accepted it graciously.
       C                           

Now he visits every weekend 
  D7                  C D
with the princess who saved herself.

G                            C    
There was a witch who was an evil 
D

queen,

        C                D
She was wrinkled old and green,

        C              G
And she hated everyone.

                            

She saw the princess in her 
C       D
silver gown,

        C           D
Put the poison apple down,

          G            
Asked her where she bought her 
        C      D G
clothes.


                        D

So they got the witch a 
dress,

                        G
Put some make-up on her face,

                  D
They started up a band,

                   
And the dragon played the 
       Em
bass.


                    C          

Every Saturday they play 
                     D
until their fingertips are sore,
       D7          C        A

Mostly Math Rock and Cuddle Core.
         C                         
And they call themselves The
