Dm
Ohohohoho Now, kneel before me, peasants
AmEmAmDmAmEmAm
[Verse]
AmEm
Once upon a time in a land so far away
FC
Was an evil kingdom that no person dared to face
DmC
Ruling with an iron fist and standing center stage
DmEm
Was a noble princess only fourteen years of age
AmEm
There wasn't anything the princess couldn’t have
FC
With a boy just like her serving as her right hand man
DmAm
Stable full of horses and her favorite, Josephine
EmAm
She could buy the world no matter what the price may be
[Pre-Chorus]
CG
If there wasn't money for the tyrant left to spend
AmG
She'd take it from her loyal subjects to no end
AmG
Anyone opposing her was punished for their crime
F#B
All those who defy me are to die!
AAm
("Now, kneel before me peasent")
[Chorus]
DmAm
Blooming ever-sweet, the evil flower reaps
EmAm
Drowning in colors til it’s all you can see
DmAm
Pitiful as ever, they were growing by her side
EmAm
Just to pave the road ahead for her, their destiny to die
[Verse]
AmEm
Don't forget this princess was like any other girl
FC
Falling for a prince in blue who lived across the world
DmC
But it came to pass he was in love with someone else
DmEm
A lady all in green who ruled a kingdom full of wealth
AmEm
Envy enveloping, she started seeing green
FC
Summoning her minister, as not to make a scene
DmAm
Speaking very low, she gave a terrible command
EmAm
“Go seek out the kingdom Green, destroy all of their land”
[Pre-Chorus]
CG
Quickly burning houses right before their very eyes
AmG
No more crying out, they murdered everyone on sight
AmG
News of how the innocent were dying in the streets
F#B
Never swayed the princess in the least
AAm
("oh my, its tea time")
[Chorus]
DmAm
Blooming ever-sweet, the evil flower reaps
EmAm
Drowning in colors that'll drive you crazy
DmAm
Beautiful as ever and still growing every day
EmAm
And yet far too many thorns keeping them all too far away
[Instrumental]
DmAmEmAm
[Verse]
AmEm
To overthrow the evil princess high above
FC
Taking to the streets at last, they all had had enough
DmC
Leading from the front of such a violent mob, in red
DmEm
Was a noble dame in armor, coming for her head
AmEm
Angry from the many years of suffering in vain
DmC
Swallowing the kingdom's people in a wild rage
DmAm
Soldiers all too tired from a long and violent war
EmAm
Didn't have the energy to even hold a sword
[Pre-Chorus]
CG
Finally they made it to the palace at the end
AmG
Servants didn't wait around and very quickly fled
AmG
Even such a princess so adorable as she
F#B
Captured by the people she should lead
AAm
("HOW DAD YOU, BARBARIANS!")
[Chorus]
DmAm
Blooming ever-sweet, the evil flower reaps
EmAm
Drowning in colors growing sad and weeping
DmAm
Living in a paradise created by her mind
EmAm
Aah, everything will crumble in this fleeting dream of lies
[Verse]
AmEm
Once upon a time in a land so far away
FC
Was an evil kingdom that no person dared to face
DmC
Ruling with an iron fist and standing center stage
DmEm
Was a noble princess only fourteen years of age
AmEm
Knowing her beheading is at three this very eve
FC
Listen to the sound because the bell will toll for thee
DmAm
Once a wealthy princess, now a prisoner to die
EmAm
What could she be thinking in her jail cell tonight?
[Pre-Chorus]
CG
Walking to the gallows, hear the chiming of the end
AmG
'Tis a better place they go than ever known ahead
AmG
Never laying eyes upon the people in the crowd
F#B
Whispering aloud their final sound
AAm
("Oh my, its tea time")
[Chorus]
DmAm
Blooming ever-sweet, the evil flower reaps
EmAm
Drowning in colors til it's all you can see
DmAm
History remembers, singing to this very day
EmAm
How a daughter of such evil lived in such a wicked way
