    Em

1. Long ago in days untold, ruled by lords of greed,

D -    C

      maidens fair, with gold they dared to bare their wombs that bleed.

D - Em

      Kings and queens and guillotines taking lives denied,

D -    C

      starch and parchments laid the laws,

                                                                 B7

    when bishops took the ride only to deceive.

 

    Em

2. Oh, I know, I lived this life before,

D -  C

      somehow I know now truths I must be sure.

D -  Em

      Tossin' turnin', nightmares brunin', dreams of swords in hand,

D -   C

      sailing ships, the Viking spits,

                                                              B7

    the blood of father's land, only to deceive.

    Living times of knights and mares,

    raising swords for maidens fair,

    déjà vu or what you please,
