Borned King

 
A A6 D6/A                          A  A6 
         Picked up from the third ring 
D6/A                             A   A6 
    Heard your bracelets jing-a-jing 
D6/A                        D/A              Amaj7 E/A         Dmaj7/A 
    The sound of your voice hanging when you knew that it was me 
A A6 D6/A                  A                 A6 
         The silver armor glinted in the noonday sun 
D6/A                        A                       A6 
     The squire closed his eyes and dreamed of Michigan 
D6/A                    D/A 
     The soldier's smiles watered as he 
               Amaj7 E/A         Dmaj7/A 
Gazed upon the gates of the born king 
 

 
    Amaj7 
She bawled in the corners of a jittery space 
    Dmaj7/A 
Her nipples set out like dinner plates 
    Amaj7 
She pulled in close and hesitates 
 

 
  Dmaj7/A     Amaj7             Dmaj7/A 
Inside of the walls of the born king 
           Amaj7             Dmaj7/A 
Lord, she drawled, abandoned swings 
            Amaj7              A 
Men through stalls, inside the walls 
 

 
A A6 D6/A                  A         A6 
       The villagers, they screamed 
D6/A                            A      A6 
     In the grocery stores and streams 
D6/A                      D/A 
     The gracious mothers grieved 
          Amaj7       E/A         Dmaj7/A 
Closed the doors and wept for the spring 
 

 
A A6 D6/A                       A                   A6 
        Sometimes when I look at old pictures of you 
       D6/A                             A   A6 
I could just crawl right through the frame 
D6/A         D/A                Amaj7    E/A         Dmaj7/A 
     All the boys and girls and cows and arms and cocaine 
 

 
       Amaj7 
The procession lied out like reverent thighs 
    Dmaj7/A 
The magistrates with batted eyes 
    Amaj7 
The fields stained red like cherry pies 
 

 
  Dmaj7/A     Amaj7             Dmaj7/A 
Inside of the walls of the born king 
           Amaj7             Dmaj7/A 
Lord, she drawled, abandoned swings 
            Amaj7              A 
Men through stalls, inside the walls
