Dm Once there was a song, the song yearned to be sung It was a spinning song about the king of rock 'n' roll The king was first a young prince, the prince was the best With his black jelly hair he crashed onto a stage in Vegas The king had a queen, the queen's hair was a stairway She tended the castle garden and in the garden planted a tree Dm The garden tree was a stairway, it was 16 branches high C Dm C On the top branch was a nest, sing the high cloudy nest A# F In the nest there was a bird, the bird had a wing Dm C A# F The wing had a feather, spin the feather and sing the wind Dm C The king in time died, the queen's heart broke like a vow A# F And the tree returned to the earth with the nest and the bird Dm C But the feather spun upward, upward and upward Spinning all the weather vanes A# F And you're sitting at the kitchen table, listening to the radio A# C A# And I love you, and I love you, and I love you, and I love you C A# And I love you, and I love you, and I love you Dm C A# F Peace will come, a peace will come, a peace will come in time Dm C A# F A time will come, a time will come, a time will come for us Dm C A# F Peace will come, a peace will come, a peace will come in time Dm C A# F A time will come, a time will come, a time will come for us You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  C  Dm  F  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
