intro:
Em Em D D Bm Bm A A x2

# [Verse 1]
Em Em D D
Twenty-three warriors and a King,
Bm Bm A A
laid in blood when the battle has done
Em Em D D
The price of a long due reckoning,
Bm Bm A A
laid in blood when the battle has done
Em Em D D
Old King Cole has paid the toll of the
Bm Bm A A
crimes levied upon his soul
Em Em D D
The rebel blades have achieved their goal,
Bm Bm A A
laid in blood when the battle has done
Em Em D D
His mouth hangs open, his eyes are wild,
Bm Bm A A
with a gaping wound is his chest defiled
Em Em D D
While round his split throne the dead lie piled,
Bm Bm A A
laid in blood when the battle has done


# [Verse 2]
Em Em D D
Twenty-three warriors and Snow White,
Bm Bm A A
laid in blood when the battle has done
Em Em D D
Fought like the devil in the dead of night,
Bm Bm A A
laid in blood when the battle has done
Em Em D D
Believed in peace, yet marched to war,
Bm Bm A A
shot through the heart, dead upon the floor
Em Em D D
Covered in her own and her sister’s gore,
Bm Bm A A
laid in blood when the battle has done
Em Em D D
With an army to lead and a war to win,
Bm Bm A A
put the bullet to dozens of her own kin
Em Em D D
Atoning for some vast and secret sin,
Bm Bm A A
laid in blood when the battle has done


# [Verse 3]
Em Em D D
Twenty-three warriors and Rose Red,
Bm Bm A A
laid in blood when the battle has done
Em Em D D
While outside the door many more lay dead,
Bm Bm A A
laid in blood when the battle has done
Em Em D D
Her body lies in her wife’s caress,
Bm Bm A A
her face is free of her life’s distress
Em Em D D
Wearing the rags of her wedding dress,
Bm Bm A A
laid in blood when the battle has done
Em Em D D
Released from her cell, like the wrath of hell,
Bm Bm A A
the three little pigs to her anger fell
Em Em D D
But King Cole sounded her funeral knell,
Bm Bm A A
laid in blood when the battle has done


# [Verse 4]
Em Em D D
Twenty-three warriors gone to rest,
Bm Bm A A
laid in blood when the battle has done
Em Em D D
Fought with the worst and died with the best,
Bm Bm A A
laid in blood when the battle has done
Em Em D D
Cinders saw her betrothed at last,
Bm Bm A A
her beauty untouched by the decades past
Em Em D D
Then King Cole fired, and it went too fast,
Bm Bm A A
laid in blood when the battle has done
Em Em D D Bm Bm A A
With the girl to whom through the years she’d sing,
Bm Bm A A
dead at the hand of the thrice-damned king
Em Em D D
She pierced his chest with her blood-red ring,
Bm Bm A A
laid in blood when the battle has done

# [Instrumental]
Em Em D D Bm Bm A A

# [Outro]
Em Em D D
Their bodies are still and their blood is cold,
Bm Bm A A
the book is closed and the story told
Em Em
No ‘Happy Ever After’ for a tale so old,
Bm Bm A A
Laid in blood when the battle has done

# [Spoken]
The End.
