Cara’s Castle Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][Dm]
[D]

[Verse 1]
If [D]you
ever come to our town
On a carousel crusade
And you're [G]tired of fighting
windmills with a [D]nail
Cross the fence and join the dragons
Who have never made the grade
Cara's castle [G]and the keep
[D]ers of a most unholy grail

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Oh Cara
[D]Queen of the losers,
ruler of the weak
Give the poet what he chooses
till he's too dumb to speak

[Verse 3]
There's a [D]clock upon the mantle
But its hands forget the time
And the win[G]dows turn their
backs [D]upon the day
And the people in the shadows
Could be all lost friends of mine
Cara's [G]courtiers need no light [D]need
no light [G]to lose [D]their way
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Oh Cara
Queen of the losers, ruler of the weak
Give the poet what he chooses till
he's too [G]dumb to [D]speak
[Dm]

[Verse 5]
[D]From the end to [Am]the be g[D]inning
Crippled minds retrace the steps
From the buri[G]al to the birth
[D]they do retreat
Wonderin' where and when and why
Their souls were slaughtered
while they slept
Cara's courtiers know no victory

[Verse 6]
know no victory just defeat
[D]
Oh Cara
Queen of the losers, ruler of the weak
Give the poet what he chooses till

[Interlude 1]
he's too dumb to speak
[D][Dm]
[D]One by one the

[Verse 7]
battered sol[Am]diers
[D]Go slowly cross the moat
One by one [G]they seek new
[D]castles somewhere else
With their crutches and the [Am]cravens[D]
And I wonder is there hope
Is there hope for [G]Cara's [D]courtiers and
the wars [G]against [D]themselves
[G][D]

[Verse 8]
[D]Oh Cara
Queen of the losers, ruler of the weak
Give the poet what he chooses till

[Outro 1]
he's too dumb to speak
[D][Dm]
