I heard about a king who owned [C] a castle in the sky
[G] Where serfs and kings were all [Em] the same and [A] nobody ever had to [D] die
[G] I heard all wealth and power [C] was shared with the common man
[G] And I, this upset sounds [Em] to me like a [G] dream in a wonderland
[Em] Come down from your [D] castle into [C] my wishing [G]
well
[C] Count all the [G] sunken memories they've [C] each a dream [G] to tell
[Em] And though you may not [D]
understand, [C] it's just my way to [G] say
[Am] Castle kings [G] and poor men's [A] dreams fill your life only with [G] toll and pain
And [C]
[G] as the years went [Bm] by I still [C] had doubts about it all
[G] But something burned down deep [Em] inside [A] so I searched for the castle [D] wall
[G] I said, hey king can you see me [C] from your castle in the sky
[G] There's just no way to look [Em] inside [A] cause your walls [C] are just [G] too high

[C]
[G] Finally I met a [C] serf who seemed a lot like me
[G] He said I am the [Em] castle [A] king, won't you come and I'll [D] set you free
[G] He took me to the castle moat and [C] the bridge was quickly drawn
[G] I fell in shame to hide [Em] my face [A] as the serf [C] turned to take [G] the throne
[B] So won't you [Em] come down from [D] your castle into [C] my wishing [G] well
[C] Pick up the sunken [Bm] memories with [Am] each their dream to [G] tell
[Em] Though no one else could hear [D] or understand [C] the words I had to say
[Bm] [Am] The castle king changed [Bm] [Em] everything, now [A] I walk with [C] him every [G] day
[Em] In all my dreams I [D] never [C] schemed a serf with a smiling [Bm] face
[Am] But now it's [G] true I'm telling [Em] you, cause the [Am] serf and the [G] king embrace
[C] Now it's true I'm telling [Em] you, cause the [Am] serf and the king embrace
