[Intro] Cm

[Primera Parte]

Cm
It was early in the night
      Fm
About eight o'clock sharp
       Gm                  Fm
When I heard the strangest scream
       Cm
It was short and narrow
       Fm
Just a sigh in a shadow
          Gm             Cm
Must have been done with silk

[Estribillo]

   Cm           Fm
My man was long gone
    Cm/Eb          Fm
And so was the kingdom
         Gm                Cm
Now they came to take the queen

[Instrumental] Cm  Fm  Gm  Cm

[Segunda Parte]

Cm
The last lock cracked
    Fm
And broke like a match
    Gm                 Fm
The crowd came running in
      Cm
Said "don't go for the window
     Fm
That poison you won't swallow
Gm                Cm
Alive we take the queen !"

[Estribillo]

     Cm           Fm
Well men, hear me speak
             Cm/Eb     Fm
Things ain't what they seem
         Gm                   Cm
For this queen too was locked in
