[D] [Bb] [Db] [Bbm]
[Fm]
[Bbm] Rise up, take [Fm] your lyre and sing, [Bbm] listen [F] to the news I bring.
[Fm] Frosty breath on [Bbm] the window, [Fm] [Ab] see a friend in [Db] the snow that [Eb] [Db] gently falls.
[Fm]
Feel the truth [Bbm] in those sad eyes, [Fm]
see the smile [Db] that's so rare, [Eb] just like [Db] the love [Eb] she waits [Fm] for.
[Db] And [Ab] she [Cm] plays a game of [Bb] alone, [Gm] as [Db] she sleeps within the firelight,
for [Ab] her dreams [Eb] are incredibly [Bb] wild, but [Db] they're lost in the pouring [G] with the
[Cm] [Fm]
fair and friend [Bbm] of the fleece spoke.
[Fm]
Warrior, bold, [Db] shepherd, wise, [Eb] fair prince [Db] of peace.
[Fm] Someone waits [Bbm] in the doorway, [Fm] on a white horse [Bbm] he comes and [Eb] holds out [Db] the hand [Eb]
she waits [Fm] for.
[Db] So [Ab] they ride [Eb] through a valley [Bb] of mist, through [Db] a castle in the heavens,
where [Ab] he [Eb] lays her down [Bb] to rest, but [Db] he's lost and gone forever.
[G] [Cm]
[Fm]
[Gm] [Bbm] [F]
See [Gm] [C] her ride on [Cm] her green hare, [F] [Fm]
mummies sing in the [Bbm] sunset,
[Fm]
sadly [Ab] asking [Db] if [Eb] beauty ever [Db] walks free, [Ab] but Queen Frost [Bb] only whispers, [Ab] maidens you will [Eb] remain.
[F]
[Gm] [Bbm] Ah, [F]
[Bb] see [C] her ride on her [F] grace,
[Dm]
[Bbm] [Cm]
[Bbm]
Lord [Cm] of the seven [Ab] [Bbm] suns, keeper of [Cm] the keys of time.
