D#                G#     D#  G#
Once upon a time was a prince
    D#                           G#        D#   G#
He tried to save the world with funk rock riffs
            D#     G#
Look at him now, oh
            D#     G#
Look at him now, oh
        D#     G#
On cobblestones

Chorus:
A#        G#         Gm    A#    D#   G#
He's the prince who wanted everything
A#        G#         Gm    A#    G#
He's the prince who wanted everything

Ooh, his hair was very Joan Baez
And fans would auction off his autographs
Look at him now, oh
Look at him now, oh
His paisley bones

Chorus

        Gm                         G#
Because life will make a beggar of rich men
A#                          Cm    A#/D#
Bring the sovereign to his knees
    Gm                           G#
And all the gold and all of the platinum
A#                        Cm   A#/D#
Melting like a chocolate sea
    Gm       G#
The only way to escape
       A#                          D#
Is to dance, dance, dance in the flames

All the courtiers would genuflect
Kiss the ring, secure a bonus check
Where are they now, oh?
Where are they now, oh?
In red Corvettes

Chorus:
They left the prince who wanted everything
He's the prince who wanted everything
