The Queen

Capo on I

Another interesting modulation in the outro - see chords below.

(G) (Em) (G) (Em)

(G) Far beyond the edge of (Em) evening

There's a (C) land between the moon and the (G) sun
(C) Where the blessed Queen of (G) Emptiness
Her singing has (D) begun

(G) To soothe the savage (Em) warriors
Who (C) feel themsleves (G) betrayed
By the (C) caravan of circus (G) clowns
(D) That joined the (G) parade

(G) Her melody falls (Em) gently
(C) To where I stand (G) below
(C) God I listen so (G) intently
(A7) I want so much to (D7) know

(G) The Queen's soft velvet (Em) laughter

Trips (C) lightly through my (G) mind
(C) Singing once their words had (G) meaning
(A7) But now they barely (D7) rhyme

(G) So desperately I (Em) follow
(C) As she leads me up a (G) hill
(C) Sharply tempting (G) roses
(A7) And poisoned (D7) daffodils

(G) Where a thousand velvet (Em) voices
(C) Fill the morning (G) air
(C) Where we ran through the (G) meadow
(A7) Flowers in her (D7) hair

(G) Beyond the edge of (Em) evening
In a (C) land between the moon and the (G) sun
(C) The blessed Queen of (G) Emptiness
Her (D) singing has (Em) begun (C) (Am) (F) (Dm) (Bb)
