A                      Gadd9   Dsus2                   A 
Scaramouche, the weary jester,  sells his misery for delight, 
A             Gadd9      Dsus2             A 
Dances in his baubles in patchwork peacock tights, 
G               A              G               A 
 Frolics in the halls of King Apollo's town of ice, 
G                A              G                  A       A   A  A  A  A  A 
 Somersaults and tumbles to the feet of the silver knights. 
 

 
    A            Gadd9    Dsus2           A 
The cloak of the sorcerer glides from his shoulder, 
A             Gadd9          Dsus2       A 
 Falls to the floor with his whiskers of snow, 
G                A         G          A 
 He summons from Pluto his demons and goblins, 
G              A          G           A 
 Stands in the doorway so ancient and cold.

    A             Gadd9    Dsus2           A 
The long jewelled fingers   of Florizel on his strings, 
A            Gadd9  Dsus2        A 
Mellow muted lute celestially it sings, 
G       A               G                        A 
 Wooden tambourine with dangling jangling silver rings, 
G             A            G    A      A  A  A 
 Lavender and harmony a bouquet brings. 
 

 
    A         Gadd9    Dsus2               A 
The palace is still     but the kingdom is singing, 
    A           Gadd9  Dsus2               A 
The people they work,    the children they play, 
G                    A            G              A 
 In the hills of the churches the bells they are ringing, 
           Gmaj7       A       G          A 
Whilst the crow flies again to lands far away.
