                        C   D

There was a castle by a waterfall,

       C              D

With a pink and purple wall,

      C               G


And a princess living there.


                           C   D


She had no parents and was all alone,


    C             D

She got by on her own,


        G        C      G

And she liked it pretty well.




                          D


'Cause she never wore her socks,


              G

She had a pet snake,


                 D       

She bought a red guitar,


                    Em

And she ate a whole cake.




                    C                              D


And there wasn't anybody there to tell her what to do,

       D7           C      A


So she did what she wanted to.


     C                          D7            C      D

Everybody knew the story of the princess who saved herself.

(Princess who saved herself)




                          C      D


There was a dragon with a pointy tail,


       C             D

He was bigger than a whale,

        C                 G


And his breath was terrible.
                               

                              *C     D


He scared the princess when he came around,


         C               D

Tried to burn the castle down,


        G             C   G

But she caught him by his tail.




                       D


Then she tied him to a tree,


                       G

So the dragon couldn't fly,

                    D


She told him he was mean,


                       Em

And it made the dragon cry.




                  C                             D


When he finally apologized she offered him some tea,


   D7              A

He accepted it graciously.

       C                             D7                  C D


Now he visits every weekend with the princess who saved herself.

G                            C    D


There was a witch who was an evil queen,


        C                D

She was wrinkled old and green,


        C              G

And she hated everyone.


                            C       D


She saw the princess in her silver gown,


        C           D

Put the poison apple down,


          G                    C      D G

Asked her where she bought her clothes.




                        D


So they got the witch a dress,


                        G

Put some make-up on her face,


                  D

They started up a band,


                          Em

And the dragon played the bass.




                    C                               D


Every Saturday they play until their fingertips are sore,

       D7          C        A


Mostly Math Rock and Cuddle Core.

         C                                  D7                    C D


And they call themselves The Kingdom Of The Princess Who Saved Herself.
