[Verse 1]


F#m                     E  A
in the year of our lord 1239

F#m                              E   F#m
there once lived a girl of the royal line

F#m                 E      A
the ancient stories do recall

F#m                 E       F#m
she was the fairest of them all


F#m           E       A
in the castle made of stone

F#m   D       E     F#m
any night she slept alone

F#m                  E         A
any noise that would raise the dead

F#m  D            E       F#m
couldn't wake her sleepyhead


[Chorus]


F#m E   E   F#m
Oh- oh- oh- oh

F#m D   E   A
Oh- oh- oh- oh

F#m E   E   F#m
Oh- oh- oh- oh

F#m D   E   A
Oh- oh- oh- oh

F#m E   E   F#m
Oh- oh- oh- oh


[Verse 2]


F#m                              E  A
the stranger came from the foreign land

F#m            E        F#m
asking for the maiden's hand

F#m                 E  A
her father said no go away

F#m                   E      F#m
she's gonna marry a king one day


F#m                    E   A
the stranger he came back again

F#m D           E        F#m
riding with 10 thousand men

F#m                      E       A
the battle cries filled all with dread

F#m D             E      F#m
but couldn't wake her sleepyhead


[Chorus]


F#m  E  E  F#m
Oh- oh- oh- oh

F#m D   E   A
Oh- oh- oh- oh

F#m E   E  F#m
Oh- oh- oh-  oh

F#m D   E   A
Oh- oh- oh- oh

F#m E   E  F#m
Oh- oh- oh-  oh


[Verse 3]


F#m                  E      A
the fighting lasted all day long

F#m                         E        F#m
but the castle walls where thick and strong

F#m                    E   A
the stranger cried let her decide

F#m   D        E          F#m
where her true affections lie


F#m                    E    A
so the king knocked on her door

F#m          E        F#m
only you can end this war

F#m                  E      A
no one knows how the story ends

F#m      B    E      F#m
did she ever wake again?

F#m   D       E      F#m
will she ever wake again?
