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

And a princess living there.

                           C   D

She had no parents and was all alone,

    C             D
She got by on her own,

        G        C      G
And she liked it pretty well.


                          D

'Cause she never wore her socks,

              G
She had a pet snake,

                 D
She bought a red guitar,

                    Em
And she ate a whole cake.


                    C                              D

And there wasn't anybody there to tell her what to do,

       D7           C      A

So she did what she wanted to.

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

 C           D
(Princess who saved herself)

 C           D          G
(Princess who saved herself)


                          C      D

There was a dragon with a pointy tail,

       C             D
He was bigger than a whale,
        C                 G

And his breath was terrible.

                              *C     D

He scared the princess when he came around,

         C               D
Tried to burn the castle down,

        G             C   G
But she caught him by his 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                             D

When he finally apologized she offered him some tea,

   D7              A
He accepted it graciously.
       C                             D7                  C D

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

(Princess who saved herself)
 C           D        Eb

(Bridge phone conversation...)



G                            C    D

There was a witch who was an evil queen,

        C                D
She was wrinkled old and green,

        C              G
And she hated everyone.

                            C       D

She saw the princess in her silver gown,

        C           D
Put the poison apple down,

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


                        D

So they got the witch a dress,

                        G
Put some make-up on her face,

                  D
They started up a band,

                          Em
And the dragon played the bass.


                    C                               D

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

Mostly Math Rock and Cuddle Core.
         C                                  D7                    C D

And they call themselves The Kingdom Of The Princess Who Saved Herself.
