F#m     E        D     A 
Welcome to this wonderworld 
E         A 
Everybody take your sledges 
F#m   E        D    A 
Winterland Plutocracy 
E                     A 
Down the slope don't fear the hedges 
A         C        G 
Everybody in their box 
F             G 
Waiting under rights of action 
A                    C          G 
Raise your heads and hold your breath 
F                   G 
I can't stand your putrefaction 
A                C       G 
I can smell your brain decay 
F                G 
As you look down at the stage and 
A                C      G 
Drive me mad and then insane 
Am      C  G   Am 
Welcome to the show 

F#m 
 You've been waiting for the one 
     D               A     E 
To bring you joy and ecstasy 
F#m 
 And you've been waiting for a song 
           D                 A   E 
And you demand to feel the tragedy 

               A        E       F#m 
But when it's right out of control 
                           D 
And it's not your song anymore 
                         A 
And you are ready to forget 
                             E 
The truth that you'd been asking for 
F#m                     D 
I'm not afraid to sacrifice 
                              E 
And I don't care bout your advice 
                         Bm B 
As I spread my wings and fly 
A               C#m                   A 
 No love - it's pain you've come to feed 
             E                  B 
In mental strain I crawl and bleed 
You make me please 
Am        G      C 
 Forever roaming 
G         Am 
You will hear it scream 
      F            G 
The cries of Speedhoven 
Am        G      C 
 Forever roaming 
G       Am 
Every starless night 
          E 
You will hear the cries 

F#m 
 You'll never get: 
           A      D                 E 
I'll never be the one that you want me to be 
F#m                              D 
 And all the treasures that you hold 
                           E 
All your diamond rings and gold 
All your flake and look and tongue 
         A       E      F#m 
I have tried and it was wrong 
              D            F#m 
You tried to push me up a notch 
           D                  E 
But all I made was an itchy crotch 
Fornication, ass galore 
          A      E       F#m 
I wanted love and I want more 
            D              F#m 
Muckrakers waiting for the prey 
            D          E 
Muckrakers want me to obey 
But you will never own me 
B 
Though you pay 
A              C#m 
This opera is haunted they will say 
A                     C#m                 B 
 That's where they've driven the light insane 

Am        G      C 
 Forever roaming 
G         Am 
You will hear it scream 
      F            G 
The cries of Speedhoven 
Am        G      C 
 Forever roaming 
G       Am 
Every starless night 
          E 
You will hear the cries 
Am        G      C 
 Forever roaming 
G        Am 
You will hear it scream 
    F             G 
The cries of Speedhoven 
Am      G       C    G  F 
 Forever you'll hear it scream 
Am         E 
La-la-la-la...

F#m                             D 
 In a cold winter night I had a vision 
                A 
Taking me by my hand 
                  E 
Leading me to the door 
                        F#m 
To rescue me from the wastelands 
                    C#m   D 
The glance of the shining ivories 
                             A 
A world that they can't understand 
                     E 
Out of sound, out of reason 
                                F#m 
The voice of their laughter was gone 
        D                A 
Taken away, time for a change 
            E 
I'm walking over 
         F#m          D 
Flying away, flying away 
        A 
Dying into another world 
            E 
Pure and divine 
                  F#m 
And the laughter dies
