[Intro]
BbKing of shadows
CKing of shades
BbHades was king of the CUnderworld
BbBut he fell in love with a Cbeautiful lady
Who Bbwalked up above
In her Cmother's green fieldBb  
BbHe fell in love with CPersephoneBb  
BbWho was gathering Cflowers in the light of the sunBb  
BbAnd I know Chow it was because
He was Bblike me
A Cman in love with a woman
Singing Bbla la la Cla la la Dmla
BbLa la la Cla la la Dla
BbLa la la Cla la la Dmla
BbLa la la Cla la laBb  
BbAnd you didn't know howC  
CAnd you didn't know whyBb  
BbBut you knew that you wanted to Ctake her homeBb  
BbYou saw her alone Cthere, against the skyBb  
BbIt was like she was someoneC  
CYou'd always knownBb  
BbIt was like you were holdCing the world when you held herBb  
BbLike yours were the arms Cthat the whole world was inBb  
BbAnd there were no words for the Cway that you feltBb  
BbSo you opened your mouthC  
CAnd you started to sing:
BbLa la la Cla la la Dmla
BbLa la la Cla la la Dla
BbLa la la Cla la la Dmla

GmAnd what has become of the Fheart of that manGm  
GmNow that the man is Fking?Gm  
GmWhat has become of the Fheart of that manGm  
GmNow that he FhasC  
CEverything?
Bb
BbThe more he has,C  
CThe more he Bbholds
The greater the Cweight of the world on his Bbshoulders
See how he Clabors beneath that loadBb  
BbAfraid to look Cup, and afraid to let go
So he Bbkeeps his head low, he Ckeeps his back bendingBb  
BbHe's grown so afraid that Che'll lose what he ownsBb  
BbBut what he doesn't know is that Cwhat he's defending
N.C.
Is already gone
BbWhere is the treasure inCside of your chest?
BbWhere is your pleasure? CWhere is your youth?
BbWhere is the man Cwith his arms outstretched?
BbTo the woman he loves
CWith nothing to lose
Singing Bbla la la Cla la la Dmla…
D5La la la la la la la…
BbLa la la Cla la la Dmla…
