G            D           E
Come dancing on my stage
F                  Db     Cm
 My bullets have a silver lining
G              D            E
Wind me up and set me free
F             C
 My uniform's bright
Eb                Ab
 Trumpets blaring, princes sharing, 
Eb                    G        C   F  G
 Swords are flashing, kingdoms falling

[Verse 1]
F                            E
  When you're dancing in the ballroom moonlight,
Db                   Em      D
feet quicksilver lace  My Lady
F                          E               Db
  When you lose yourself inside the city jungle
              Em                     D
then you're pretty sure of finding a hiding place

[Chorus 2]
G                     D         E
 Come stepping through my head
F                      Db      Cm
 My cloak will give us both protection
G           D             E
 Set me up upon your wall
F                     C
 I'll dance all night long
Eb                Ab
  Cannons roaring, banners soaring,
Eb                     G        C  F       G
  Lances flashing, the blood is pouring

[Verse 2]
F                         E
  When you tremble at the dragons roaring 
       Db                    Em             D
at the forest's door I'll hold you close My Lady
F                                 E
  When your house shakes at the jetplanes' howling
   Db                Em                               D
causing mousequakes in your cornflakes, then I'll be by your side
F                             E
  When you're knocking on the doors of death and 
  Db                        Em                  D
rocking wolves in cradles scared of losing your Secret Rose

[Chorus 3]
G           D           E
 Accept my handkerchief
F                          Db      Cm
  Tears shining 'cause the show is over
G                D             E
 Take my arm and walk with me
F               C
 Together we're free
Eb                     Ab
  Brakes are screeching, statues preaching
Eb                      G     C   F    G
  Hoardings flashing, empires crashing

[Instrumental]
F E Db E D D (x2)

[Verse 3]
F                         E
  And the time is getting much too late
    Db                     Em                     D
for more than dreaming new schemes for making the darkness bright
F                           A          E
  When you're moving in the ballroom moonlight
Db                   Em    D
feet quicksilver lace My Lady
F                         E
  When you tremble at the dragons roaring
       Db                          E          D
at the forest's door I'll hold you close My Lady
F                         E
  And the time is getting much too late
    Db                      Em                    D
for more than dreaming new schemes for making the darkness bright
F                            E
  And the dreams are getting much too bad
    Db                  Em                 D        A Bm D
for more than trying to find a mountain to put them right
