^Em Even the wolf can learn,
^D even the sheep can turn,
^C6 even the frog bcome at last the ^Em prince
^Em No more imagined insults
and ^D no more bloated pride -
^C6 I'll see you at the wedding,
I'll see you on the ^Bm o- ^A ther ^G side
^Em and I'll hold my peace forever
but I'll ^D hold my passion more...
I'll be ^Bm hol- ^A ding the ^G door
and ^Em waiting for the princess -
I could say I' ^D m waiting for the world,
^C6 but when it comes right down to it
I'm simply ^Bm wai- ^A ting for the ^G girl.
^Em On through the ring of changes
I'll be at my ^D side in a single bound,
^Bm lost ^A and ^G found
^G looking ^A to be ^Bm lost ^A and ^G found.
^G looking ^A to be ^Bm lost ^A and ^G found.
^G I'll ^A to be ^Bm lost ^A and ^G found.
^G I'll ^A to be ^Bm lost ^A and ^G found.
^{G A A} La Rossa ^E extends her ^B hands - in the morning light the ^D stigmata don't ^A show
She's up already, ^E making ^B plans; she thinks it's ^D maybe time he ought to ^A go
And she's friendly ^E like it's a ^B service but she's ^D ringing around his ^A head -
though he knows she has ^E no further ^B use for him
still he feels like he's ^D raised from the ^A dead.
Out to the ^E cold grey ^B daylight, never ever ^D wondering, of ^A course,
if one moment of ^E perfect ^B passion
is worth a ^D lifetime of ^A remorse.
The guitar "solo" (would you consider a two-notes line as solo?) is played
through the same chords sequence, here it is, with durations in beats:
A (6 beats) E (2 beats) | B (6 beats) D (2 beats)
So it's ^Em no more empty promises
and ^D no more idle threats;
^C6 no more 'if only's' and ^Bm no more ' ^A and ^G yet's';
no more wishes for the ^Em future
no more ^D denials of the past;
I'm ^Bm free ^A at ^G last
^A I'm in ^Bm love ^A at ^G last
^A I'm ^Bm lost ^A and ^G found
The chord sequence continues as the voices faid:
Bm (4 beats) A (4 beats) | G (7 beats) A (1 beat)
...put on your red dress, baby...
...cos we're going out, tonight...
...put on your high heeled slippers...
...everything's gonna be alright?
