[Bb] [D] In the land of the lost horizon, where the queen lies dark and cold, and when the stars
[C] don't shine, then the [Bb] story's told.
[A]
[D] When the world woke in honey, and the magic was strong and true,
then the strange [C] ones came, then the people [Bb]
[A] in the [D] chains were wrong,
[Dm]
[Bb] that the chains were [Dm] wrong.
[Bb] My, [Dm] my, my, in the land [C] of no tomorrow, [Dm] where you pray [C] just to end each [Dm] day,
and your life [C] just slowly melts [Bb] away,
[A] [Dm] each day you hear the sand [C] as it moves
and whispers, [Dm]
come and sail [C] on my golden sea, [D] [Dm]
maybe one [C] day you'll be just [Bb] like me,
and [A] that's free, until your chains [Dm] are up,
[Bb] yes your chains are [Dm]
up,
[Bb] still your [Dm] chains are up.
You've seen [C] them walking [D] on the water, [Bb]
[D] you've seen [C] them flying through [Bb] the sky,

When the world was [C]
milking honey, [Dm] and the magic was [C]
strong and true,
[Dm] Then the strains once [C] came, then the people [Bb] knew, [A]
yeah, that the [Dm] chains were on.

[C] [Dm] In the land [C] of men, [Bb] still the chains are [F] on.
[Dm] Where the queen [C] lies dark and lonely, [Bb] still the chains are [F] on.
[C] [Dm] And the world [C] was new and magic, [Bb] but the chains [C] are on.
[Dm]
[C] The chains are [Bb] on.
[C] Oh, the chains were on.
Yeah, the chains were [Dm] on.
