Intro #1 (0:00): Piano and bass play the following riff, piano embellishing: G ---------------------------- D ------0--2--3--5--3--2--0--- A ---3------------------------ E ---------------------------- The sequence is: FAST 4x, SLOW 2x, FAST 8x, SLOW 1x, FAST 4x, SLOW 2x, slowing down at the end. Intro #2 (0:35): "Warmup" for piano and bass. Piano plays low C bass note, bass ad lib. Entry (1:44): Drums, riff in C (strike low C twice) 35x. Verse 1 (2:32): (Continue riff, shifting to F when indicated) C C F C C C C Kings and Queens are running wild, lonely for each other C C F C C C C Princes gallant are no more staying under cover C C F C C C C Jesters' jokes aren't even funny, poking fun at sorrow C C F C C C C Lords and Ladies hoard their riches fearful for tomorrow During the "chorus", play G, F for 1 bar, C for 2 bars.

G ------------------------------ D ------2--3-------------2--0--- A ---3----------------3--------- E ------------------------------ At 5:40, the bass and piano play C | C F | (4x), then 4x at twice the tempo. At 6:00, all instruments drop out, and the piano plays a "classical bit" (on electric piano, it sounds like to me). If this is swiped from somewhere, it would be nice to know where. At 6:40, the bass and piano play the following riff: G ------------------------------ D ----------2--3------0--------- A ---3-3-3--------3------------- E ------------------------------ Re-entry (with the drums) occurs at 7:33. The riff in C is repeated 4x, then Verse 1 is repeated, with the chorus: C C F C C C C Kings and Queens are running wild, lonely for each other C C F C C C C Princes gallant are no more staying under cover C C F C C C C Jesters' jokes aren't even funny, poking fun at sorrow C C F C C C C Lords and Ladies hoard their riches fearful for tomorrow G F C Fantasies turning into truth [4x, of course] At 9:00, there is a guitar + bass solo over a static C, which shifts to F and G briefly at 9:40. The piano and bass play the opening riff (9:50): G ---------------------------- D ------0--2--3--5--3--2--0--- A ---3------------------------ E ---------------------------- Over which is sung: Faces the fanfare only the fool ... With a flourish from the piano, the song ends on C.
