[Verse 1]
DmC
Once there was a song, the song yearned to be sung
BbF
It was a spinning song about the king of rock 'n' roll
DmC
The king was first a young prince, the prince was the best
BbF
With his black jelly hair he crashed onto a stage in Vegas
[Verse 2]
DmC
The king had a queen, the queen's hair was a stairway
BbF
She tended the castle garden and in the garden planted a tree
DmC
The garden tree was a stairway, it was 16 branches high
BbF
On the top branch was a nest, sing the high cloudy nest
DmC
In the nest there was a bird, the bird had a wing
BbF
The wing had a feather, spin the feather and sing the wind
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
DmC
The king in time died, the queen's heart broke like a vow
BbF
And the tree returned to the earth with the nest and the bird
DmC
But the feather spun upward, upward and upward
Bb
Spinning all the weather vanes
F
And you're sitting at the kitchen table, listening to the radio
[Bridge]

And I love you, and I love you, and I love you, and I love you
CDmBb
And I love you, and I love you, and I love you
[Outro]
DmCBbF
Peace will come, a peace will come, a peace will come in time
DmCBbF
A time will come, a time will come, a time will come for us
DmCBbF
Peace will come, a peace will come, a peace will come in time
DmCBbF
A time will come, a time will come, a time will come for us
