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