Tom: C

Am                              F/A
She climbs up the stairs by the light of a candle
         Am6                    F/A                Am
Then the door with no handle is closing behind her again
Am                        F/A
She places the light on a chair by the window
        Am6
Says a prayer while the wind blows
F/A                          Am
And then in her bed clothes she hides

C                       G
Now she's safe from the darkness
      Dm            Am
She's safe from its clutch
C               G            F              Em
Now nothing can harm her, at least not very much

C             C#         C          Am
What will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel?

Am                          F/A
She climbs up a hill and is handed a parcel
         Am6
Then she unwraps the parcel
       F/A             Am
And discovers a castle inside
Am
The draw bridge is open
      F/A
And a voice from the water
      Am6
Says, Welcome my daughter"
      F/A                       Am
"We've all been expecting you to come"

    Am                            F/A
She climbs up the stairs with the light of a candle
         Am6                            F/A         Am
