[Verse]
G
Brighten the corners and clear out the room
C
Color the flowers in rose and maroon
D
Light up the fires and season this wine
Am
We're gonna party like it's 1699
[Verse]
G
Slaughter the rabbits, the doves, and the boars
C
And lay all the tables and open the doors
D
The Creme del a Creme will be waiting
Am
On one guest of honor
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Oh up go the curtains
Am
And down go the virgins
G F#
Oh no, mothers are crying
C#m Am G D
Ladies of virtue, will stand to accuse you of heartbreak and theft
[Chorus]
G
Bells are gonna ring
Bm
Birds are gonna sing
Em Am
Let the people begin
G Am G
The crowning of your big head
[Verse]
G
Young drunken girls in a hideous dance
C
Sing a heartfelt lament of the death of romance
D
Beautiful boys turn and offer their cheeks
Am
Preening and prancing, the outcome looks bleak
[Verse]
G
Good times are rolling
But outside these walls
C
Our houses will crumble, this city will fall
D
But a few broken pawns don't mean nothing
Am
To our guest of honor
[Pre-chorus]
C
So let's raise our glasses
Am G
To murderess asses like you
F#
May you sleep soundly
C
Once we had laughter
Am
You got what you're after
G D
Oh you wear it well
[Chorus]
G
Bells are gonna ring
Bm
Birds are gonna sing
Em Am
Let the people begin
G Am
Hear how the hearts are pounding
G C
We're all witnessing the crowning
D Gm
Of your big bleeding head
[Instrumental]
Gm Cm Gm Am D
[Verse]
G
Bells are gonna ring
Bm
Birds are gonna sing
Em Am
Let the people begin
[Outro]
G C
Hear how the hearts are pounding
G Am
Your rise, nothing but astounding
G C
We're all witnessing the crowning
Em D G
On your useless, ruthless head
