Cm 
It was early in the night 
      Fm 
About eight o'clock sharp 
       Gm                  Fm 
When I heard the strangest scream 
       Cm 
It was short and narrow 
       Fm 
Just a sigh in a shadow 
          Gm             Cm 
Must have been done with silk

   Cm           Fm 
My man was long gone 
    Cm/Eb          Fm 
And so was the kingdom

Now they came to take the queen

The last lock cracked 
    Fm 
And broke like a match 
    Gm                 Fm 
The crowd came running in 
      Cm 
Said "don't go for the window 
     Fm 
That poison you won't swallow 
Gm                Cm 
Alive we take the queen !"

For this queen too was locked in
