Verse 1:
A7                 D     A7                       D 
  The courtyard is empty -- and the drawbridge is high 
D              G           D       G 
  My jester is singing his saddest goodbye 
      G         F#     D       B7 
  I'm king of a lonely castle 
            E7                   A7 
  Cause the queen of my heart is gone 

Verse 2:
                  D         A7                 D 
  My chargers are searching -- the far country side 
D7              G             D7            G 
  Her ladies in waiting their lonely hearts cry 
      G         F#     D      B7 
  I'm king of a lonely castle 
            E7          A7       D 
  Cause the queen of my heart is gone 

      A7                  D 
But I don't really have a castle 
      A7                       D 
And I don't have a throne to ascend 
      G          G#m             D           B7 
But I did have a queen now she's gone and it seems 
          E7                     A7        D 
That it's best to pretend with a storybook end 
        G         F#     D      B7 
And I'm king of a lonely castle 
          E7          A7       D 
Cause the queen of my heart is gone

Verse 3:
A7             D      A7                  D 
  My banner is flying -- my love from the tower 
     D7          G        D         G 
  Proclaiming to heaven I die every hour 
      G         F#     D       B7 
  I'm king of a lonely castle 
            E7          A7       D     D7 
  Cause the queen of my heart is gone

  Cause the queen of my heart is gone
