He _ was a stranger to himself, Smiling in his own chant,
[E] And his money was [B] his health, All thrown to the dust by his [B] very own hand.
_ Yet his beauty lingered still, Beyond the draining of the sand,
[E] But Green was the other [B] side of the [E] hill, Richer [B] was the other man's land.
_ But [E] we loved [B] him, [E] Loved him just [B] like brothers [E] would,
And [B] loved him, [E] Loved him like no [B] others could,
_ And [E] she _ loved [E] him, Loved him like [B] all of us should.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Take a girl from a kingdom home, Never can replace it,
You know you are the master of your art, [E] You'll realize that when you see [B] it clear.
_ _ Those old to the blue are gating away, [F#] No laughter from them dancers,
But you're bound to remember one day, As if the risks had missed the chances.
You can't run for cover, Run for cover like a fighting sparrow,
[F#] Till it's all over, [E] All over and [F#] there's no one there,
_ _ Cause you can't discover, _ Can't discover that we [B] really care. _ _ _ _
