Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

[Intro]
Em - Em - Em - Em

[Verse 1]
Em                                                   Am
The court, the keep and corridoors are ankle deep in dust,
Em                                                   Am
and cobwebs hang like tapestries in the armouries of rust.

[Chorus]
C                      Em                 G              D
Beat the black draped, muffled drum, cast orchids on his bed,
C                      Em               G               D       Em
sound the carved white funeral horn for lo, the King is dead.

[Verse 2]
Em                                                   Am
The banners in the banquet hall have faded like dull rags,
Em                                                     Am
and feasting on the crumbs beneath a brood of wretched hags.

[Chorus]
C                      Em                 G              D
Beat the black draped, muffled drum, cast orchids on his bed,
C                      Em               G               D       Em
sound the carved white funeral horn for lo, the King is dead.

[Verse 3]
Em                                                      Am
The servants drink the cellars dray and steal the silverware,
Em                                               Am
the jailor and the jester dance, a most ungainly pair.

[Chorus]
C                      Em                 G              D
Beat the black draped, muffled drum, cast orchids on his bed,
C                      Em               G               D       Em
sound the carved white funeral horn for lo, the King is dead.

[Bridge]
Em             Am                           Em              Am
In the room of cracked spines and parchment sat the scribe, quill poised and back bent
C                 B                 A        Em
Blowing dust from the Black Book of Hours.

[Instrumental]
Em - Em - Em - Am - Em - Em - Em - Am
C - Em - G - D - C - Em - G - D
Em - Em - Em - Em

[Verse 4]
Em                                                        Am
The widowed Queen she does not mourn, but wears a funeral gown,
Em                                                      Am
hides a smile beneath her veil, teases baubles from the crown.

[Chorus]
C                      Em                 G              D
Beat the black draped, muffled drum, cast orchids on his bed,
C                      Em               G               D
sound the carved white funeral horn for lo, the King is dead.
C                      Em                 G              D
Beat the black draped, muffled drum, cast orchids on his bed,
C                      Em               G               D
sound the carved white funeral horn for lo, the King is dead.
