The soldier
G
came knocking upon the queen's door

for you any more"

D
Bm
He said, "I've watched your
G
palace up here on the hill
D

And I've wondered who's the

But I am leaving tomorrow
G
and you can do what you will
D
A
D
Only first I am asking you why."

Down in the long narrow

the crown from her head

She asked him there to sit down.

Verse 4
Bm
He said, "I see you now,
G
and you are so very young

But I've seen more battles lost

than I have battles won

And I've got this intuition,
G
says it's all for your fun
D
A
D
And now will you tell me why?"
Verse 5
Bm
Well the young queen,
G
she fixed him with an arrogant eye
D
A
She said, "You won't understand,
D

and you may as well not try"

But her face was a child's,
G
and he thought she would cry
D
A
D
But she closed herself up like a fan.

And she said,

It cuts me inside, and often I've bled"

Verse 7
Bm
"Tell me how hungry are you? How
G
weak you must feel
D

As you are living here alone,
D

and you are never revealed

But I won't march again
G
on your battlefield"
D
A
D
And he took her to the window to see.
Verse 8

And the sun, it was gold,
G
though the sky, it was gray

And he said,
D
"I want to live as an honest man
Esus4
E
To get all I deserve and to
Esus4
give all I can

G
who I don't understand
D
Your highness,
A
D
your ways are very strange."

and she thought she would break
D
And she stood there,
A

ashamed of the way her heart ached
Bm
She took him to the doorstep and she
G
asked him to wait
D
A

She would only be a moment inside.

Out in the distance her
G
order was heard
D

And the soldier was killed,

still waiting for her word
Bm
And while the queen went on strangling
G
in the solitude she preferred
D

The battle continued on.
