Guinevere

A         D     E         A         D
Guinevere in my castle in Normandy
E          A            D    E         A
Make a new home with me come follow me down
A         D      E         A
Guinevere all my honor and glory
D    E         F#m   D      E           A
Will just be a story of the fall of the crown
F#m                        C#m
Am I some dancing Lancelot who only falls in love
      D                     E       A
With a woman who belongs to someone else
      F#m                     C#m,
Is it just the blood of Paris running through my veins
D                 D/C#       Bm                E
That sees a takes woman  and myself I can't restrain
        F#m
Is this knight of cups in his noble stance
       C#m
Just a jack of clubs  with an eye askance
       D                       D/C#
On the queen of hearts  in her royal blue
       Bm                              E
I may shield the poor but I can't save you
A         D     E         A         D
Guinevere in my castle in Normandy
E          A            D    E         A    E
Make a new home with me come follow me down
A         D      E         A
Guinevere all my honor and glory
D    E         F#m   D      E           A
Will just be a story of the fall of the crown
F#m                           C#m
Golden apples on the mountain this one fell to me
       D             E        A
We are planets in a heartless gravity
F#m
I never chose to make a choice
   C#m
It felt like someone else's voice
D                D/C#         Bm          E
Saying all those crazy things down on one knee
F#m                                    C#m
Cassandra never cast a shadow now it's heading to the shore
D                           D/C#              Bm          E
Oh the face that launched a thousand ships is sailing one more
A         D     E         A         D
Guinevere in my castle in Normandy
E          A            D    E         A     E
Make a new home with me come follow me down
A         D      E         A
Guinevere all my honor and glory
D    E         F#m   D      E           A
Will just be a story of the fall of the crown
