B            Bsus4       E      B       E  C#m7

  The winterqueen looks up and sighs

A             E                  B    Bsus4  E  B  E  C#m7

  I wish that I controlled the skies

A         E                C#m            A         E       B    Bsus4  E  B  E  C#m7

  For up above is where to stand, to rule those who walk on land

 

B          Bsus4       E      B       E  C#m7

The summer queen flies by and sees

A            E               B    Bsus4  E  B  E  C#m7

Her realm of butterflies and bees

A          E              C#m            A          E       B    Bsus4  E  B  E  C#m7

And says I wish I lived below, instead I sail where breezes blow

 

D            A              D            A             C#m      B

And then the rain came down, it tried to seep into the ground

D              A                     D             A            E             B    F#

But water deep pushed and poked, and sodden soil already soaked began to roil

 

Then strum a B5 for 4 measures with Wurlitzer

Into a little solo over: D A D A E B

B             Bsus4   E       B       E  C#m7

The prince of silence walks below

A        E               B    Bsus4  E  B  E  C#m7

Inside a cave of ice and snow

A          E                A                   E        (C#m)  Bsus4  E  B  E  C#m7

He says "I wonder why?" but words are locked in glaciers, never heard

 

B             Bsus4 E     B       E  C#m7

The prince of music on guitar

A           E             B    Bsus4  E  B  E  C#m7

Neglects to play a single bar

A         E                  A                 E        (C#m)    B   

But music trapped inside his head resounds and fills the space instead

 

Jam in key of E over B > A


Resolve jam to (4x): C#m A E   C#m A E B

 

The winter queen looks up and sighs (2x)
