[Verse 1]
Dm C
Once there was a song, the song yearned to be sung
Bb F
It was a spinning song
about
the king of
rock 'n' roll
Dm C
The king was first a young prince, the prince was the best
Bb F
With his black jelly hair he crashed onto a stage in Vegas
[Verse 2]
Dm C
The king had a queen, the queen's hair was a stairway
Bb F
She tended the castle garden and in the garden planted a tree
Dm C
The garden tree was a stairway, it was 16 branches high
Bb F
On the top branch was a nest, sing the high cloudy nest
Dm C
In the nest there was a bird, the bird had a wing
Bb F
The wing had a feather, spin the feather and sing the wind
[Instrumental]
Dm C Bb F
[Verse 3]
Dm C
The king in time died, the queen's heart broke like a vow
Bb F
And the tree returned to the earth with the nest and the bird
Dm C
But the feather spun upward, upward and upward
Bb
Spinning all the weather vanes
F
And you're sitting at the kitchen table, listening to the radio
[Bridge]
Bb C Dm Bb
And I love you, and I love you, and I love you, and I love you
C Dm Bb
And I love you, and I love you, and I love you
[Outro]
Dm C Bb F
Peace will come, a peace will come, a peace will come in time
Dm C Bb F
A time will come, a time will come, a time will come for us
Dm C Bb F
Peace will come, a peace will come, a peace will come in time
Dm C Bb F
A time will come, a time will come, a time will come for us
