The Queen is in the counting house, her fingers in the till

The jesters telling jokes to everyone

Sayin "now he's gone, well ain't it fun"

Chorus

And it ain't the same with out him, in the castle on the hill
I cant remember the exact words for Verse 3 but the guitar part is the same, the break in the middle has a really easy lead part but i can't be bothered to TAB that now so you'll have to listen to the CD and work it out for ones self. Enjoy..
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official RIDE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
