[A] They have killed the [G] great [D] Sun [G] Jester,
[A] who danced between the [D] stars.
[A] They have [G] stripped him of [D] his [G] manhood, [A] signs of innocence and [D] demise.
[A] The cynics [G] left him [D] weeping and the jackals left him [G] torn.
[A] And the Jester [G] reaches out blind and [D] he can touch the [G] stars.
No [A] more, [G] no more, [D]
[A] [G]
[D]
[A] having killed the [G] stars.
In his hands there [D] may be scattered, there may be chants.
[A] I'm the Joker of [G] the universe, [D] I'm what it's all about.
[G]
[D] [A] Now he's got him in [G] his feet, and [D] the hard men drag him down.
[A] They have killed the wild [G] Iron Jester, they [D] have killed [G] the Fire [A] Cloud.
Now [Am] he's blind, I see [D] the starlight.
[G] [A] And his [G] fingers seek [D] controls
[A] to [G] take him [D] into space [G] again.
[D]
[A] Where he [G] was both [D] young and old.
[A] The dancers [G] sniffed with [D] pain and the menial kneeled [G] to law.
And [A] the madness they [G] have driven out, [D] they've left him [Gm] cold.
[A] He's been [G] to [D]
[A] [G]
[D]
[A] the [D] stars, [G] in his hands, in [D] his fingers, in his trousers.
[A] I'm the Joker of [G] the universe,

now [A] he's got him in [G] his feet.
[D] And the hard men drag him down.
[A] They have killed the wild [D] Iron Jester, they have killed [G] the Fire [A]
Cloud.
He'll never sing his songs [D] again.
[A] He'll never dance between the stars again.

[A] He'll never laugh again.
