The Princess And The Clock by Kero Kero Bonito
The Princess And The Clock
[Intro]
Am7 F G
Am7 F G
[Chorus]
Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
F G
High up in a chamber
Am7 F G
She painted pictures of the land that made her
Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
F G
Shadowed by a clock face
Am7 F G
The hands arrested at the time she came and
Am G
When she peered outside
Am G
She saw the birds, so high
F
That she made a wish
G
To grow, one day, her own pair of wings
[Instrumental Break]
Am F Dm Em
Am F Dm Em
Am F Dm Em
Am F Dm G C
[Verse 1]
F
She sailed long from afar
Am
To find herself in the world
F
When in the wind, she heard an island call
Am G
And so she followed it and came ashore
F
On a beach with a crowd
"We waited hеre for you!"
Am
Then a voice said it was truе
Bb F
"We all prayed for a princess!”
G
“You're the one heaven sent."
[Chorus]
Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
F G
High up in a chamber
Am7 F G
She painted pictures of the land that made her
Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
F G
Just to remember
F G
For the memory got lost in the dark
Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
F G
Shadowed by a clock face
Am7 F G
The hands arrested at the time she came and
Am7 F G
Though she showed the passing of the days
F Em Am
Eternally a child she would remain
[Verse 2]
F
Before she felt any fear
Am
The air escaped into silence
Dm
She woke up lying on a gilded bed
Am G
With half a dozen maids around her
F
"We're keeping you safe in a tall place
Am7 Gm
Where you can see all the land you lead for us
F
By God's decree
E Am7
Hail to the girl, our Queen!"
F G
Am7 F G
[Bridge]
Am7 F
As the nights ran
G Am7
Together blurring into years
F G
Her brushstrokes never disappeared
[Instrumental Break]
F G
Am Em
Dm Em F Ab G
[Chorus]
(n.c.) F
Oh, ooh, oh
G
High up in a chamber
Am7 F Dm Em
She painted pictures of the land that made her
Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
F G
Just to remember
F G
For the memory got lost in the dark
Am7
Oh, ooh, oh
F G Am7
Shadowed by a clock face
F Dm Em
The hands arrested at the time she came and
Am7 F G
Though she showed the passing of the days
F Em F
Eternally a child she would remain
[Outro]
C G F
Until one day when a clatter rang through the hills
Em Em7 F
They found her gone and a smashed-open windowsill
Em
A feather hung in the air
Em Am G Gaug Am G6
And the once-stopped clock was ticking on
Am7 F Dm Em
Am7 F Dm Em
Am7 F Dm Em
Am7 F Dm G
