Palace Guard

E   B   A   E

      E                            
With handmade silver sparkles, like
   B
 a well dressed sequined whore,
      A                       
Your lady-like deceptions keep 
 B                E
reaching out for more.
         E                     
And you ask me for nothing, and 
 B
nothing’s not enough,
        A                          
And the fisherman he puts a claim 
               B               E
on you but it’s nothing but a bluff.

         E                         
So with jealous hands tied round my
        B
 back, I stumble cross the floor,
    A                           
Not knowing how to speak, I keep 
 B                E
reaching for the door.
  E                           
I know you know me well I say, 
  B
‘cause I’m the Palace Guard,
  A                             B 
Remember me, we made love today at
                  E
 the King’s bazaar.

         B                       
And you look at me with eyes that 
       E
never see,
       B                         
I can feel something start to die 
           E
inside of me.
      E                            
So before you show me ev’ry thing, 
B
there’s something you must know,
     A                           
I’ve worked with your friend John 
                  B                
the Geek and his side walk 
   E
trav’lin’ show.

  E                           
I know your childhood tailored 
        B
dreams are ve-ry well disguised,

       A                    
So you don’t have to fake it 
               B              E
anymore, it’s all been memorized.
       B                           
And you speak in wordless freedoms 
      E
never seen,
       B                       
Now I realize to you it’s all a 
 E
dream.


Bridge: E  B  A  B

        E                          
And you speak to me with feelings 
  B
as real as sealing wax,
       A                         
As the nearness dawns the moth is 
      B                 E
gone leaving trailless tracks.

        E                       
All you village people sing your 
              B
songs of the morning sunlit sky,
          A                        
Don’t you think it’s time we moved 
               B            E
along said the raven to the fly.

E    B     A    B      E    B 
Ahh--ah    Ahh--ah,    Ahh--ah
     A    B      E    B     A   
     Ahh--ah,    Ahh--ah    
 B      E    B
Ahh--ah     Ahh--ah

OR....
E                                 
Ahh                               
     B
     Ah

A                                 
Ahh                               
     E
     Ah

E                              
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s 
                         B
alright, it’s alright, it’s all 
right,
A                                 
na na na, na, na na na, na na na, na
E
 na na,
E                                 
It’s alright, it’s all right, it’s
                B
 all right, it’s alright, alright,
A                                 
na na na, na, na na na, na na na, na
E
 na na,
E                              
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s 
                                 B
alright, it’s all right, it’s all

A                                 
na na na, na, na na na, na na na, na
E
 na na
A                             
La-a-ah na, na, na na na, na na 
  B
na-a-na
A                                 
na na na, na, na na na, na na na, 
      E
na na na,

NOTE: The song fadeout has "Ahh-ah" 
sung at the same time as “It’s all 
right”. The "Ahh-ah" is above, and
here's the “It’s all right” with "na
 na na ..." as well.  It sounds as 
if there are either 12 or 13 "na's"

Like this:
            E

Voices 2:   It’s alright, it’s 
alright, it’s all right, it’s 
alright, it’s all right,

A                                 E
Ahh                               Ah
