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