The lights turned on and the curtain fell down, 
Am                        D  
And when it was over it felt like a dream,  
Am                                D

He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall.

He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall,  
       G        G/F#       Em             
His mother had told him a trip was a fall,

The black covered caisson her horses had drawn  
G              G/F#          Em              
Protected her King from the sun rays of dawn.
