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

Let the people begin

Hear how the hearts are pounding

Your rise, nothing but astounding

We're all witnessing the crowning
Am G C
On your useless, ruthless head
