Amaj7
Music is a princess
C#dim    B        Amaj7
I'm just a boy in rags

I would gladly spend my life
B
Carrying her flags

[Verse 1]
         A                           E
From the first time I heard her, the sound of her voice
        F#m                 C#m
And her beauty completely bewitched me
      A                          E
I was lost then and there, I was given no choice
     F#m                              G#
Ever since, there's been no peace for me, you see

[Chorus]
Amaj7
Music is a princess
C#dim    G#m7  Amaj7
I'm just a nobody

Who'd gladly give his life
B
For her majesty

[Verse 2]
      A                     E
If in dying I'd move her or make her heart stir
     F#m                        C#m
If I thought for one moment I'd be missed
    A                        E
But extravagant gestures are wasted on her
        F#m                  G#
She's a princess, I'm Oliver Twist

[Chorus]
Amaj7
Music is a princess
C#dim    G#m7     Amaj7
I'm just a boy in rags

I'd gladly spend my life
B
Carrying her bags

[Verse 3]
         A                           E
If their weight is much greater than I first supposed
      F#m                 C#m
I'd remember my oath of allegiance
     A                     E
True love is a monarch who won't be deposed
F#m              G#
Treason hasn't a chance

[Chorus 4]
Amaj7
Music is a princess
C#dim      B      Amaj7        B
I'm just a boy in rags...

[Interlude]
A         E         F#m     C#m
A         E         F#m     G#

[Chorus]
Amaj7
Music is a princess
C#dim    B      Amaj7
I will remain unknown

Falling asleep at night
B
Dreaming of her throne

[Verse 4]
        A                        E
But her jewels are brighter than my eyes can bear
      F#m                        C#m
And although she is something to die for,
     A                          E
I do not have the slipper she's waiting to wear
      F#m                          G#
So my dreams remain dreams nothing more.
    A                        E
Her jewels are brighter than my eyes can bear
F#m                      C#m
Yes, she is something to die for,
      A                            E
But I don't have the slipper she's waiting to wear
      F#m                        G#
I'm a boy dressed in rags at her door

[Chorus]
Amaj7
Music is a princess
C#dim      G#m    Amaj7
I'm just a boy in rags...
F#m7
In rags...
        C#m
In rags
