Return To Oz

	  		 
		 
Intro: C#m 

C#m 
Once there was a man 
         E               B              G# 
who had a little too much time on his hands 
                                              A 
he never stopped to think that he was getting older. 
     C#m 
When his night came to an end 
           C                                 G 
He tried to grasp for his last friend and pretend 
                           B                        A 
That he could wish himself health on a four leaf clover 

           C 
He said is this the return to Oz? 
              F                G#                    C 
The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws 

There's a wind up man walking round and round 
     F                  G#                  C 
What once was Emerald City is now a crystal town 

C#m 
Its three o' clock in the morning 
          E                   B                    G# 
You get a phone call from the queen with a hundred heads 
                          A 
She says that they're all dead 
              C#m 
She tried the last one on 

It couldn't speak, fell off 
    C 
And now she just wanders the halls 
         G       B                    A 
Thinking nothing, thinking nothing at all 

           C 
He said is this the return to Oz? 
             F                 G#                       C 
The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws 

There's a wind up man walking round and round 
     F                  G#                  C 
What once was Emerald City is now a crystal town

C#m 
The wheelies are cutting pavement 
        E                B 
and the Skeksis at the rave meant 
   G# 
to hide deep inside 
             A 
their sunken faces 
                        C#m 
and their wild, rolling eyes 
                         C 
But their callous wordsreveal 
                        G 
That they can no longer feel 
           B 
Love or sex appeal 
    A 
The patchwork girl has come to cinch the deal 

C                     F 
To return to Oz we've fled the world 
     G#                   C 
With smiles and clenching jaws 

Please help me friend from coming down 
     F             G#                 C 
I've lost my place now and it cant be found 

Is this the return to Oz? 
               F               G#                    C 
The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws 

There's a wind up man walking round and round 
     F                G#                    C 
What once was Emerald City is now a crystal town
