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