[Verse 1]

D                   D/G           D                  D/G
 There was once an evil queen who waved the hand and blighted the land
D             D/G          D                  D/G
 No school no hospital was set in the killing touch of her hand
D         A   Em       Em7
When a queen evil sat
D          A      Em         Em7
Will you leave us in peace?

[Verse 2]

D                   D/G             D         D/G
 This queen was not alone she was egged on by loads of goblins
D                   D/G                 D                      D/G
 Her wish was their command, they would weave spells and spell death
 D       A          Em        Em7
"When it hurts, the son sang
D          A      Em          Em7
Will you leave us in peace?"

[Bridge]

C                                       G
 But currently help was nigh because of gathered Welshmen
C                                      G
 Gathered round a lovely band from all those who wished to see
C     Em      F      G
  Freedom and democracy
C     Em     F           G
Joyfully the poor people sang
    A      G
The people sang:

[Chorus]

 D        A  Em        Em7
"Could it be that now
D       A        Em    Em7
better days will come along?"

[Verse 3]

D            D/G               D                 D/G
 So one they gathered here and all his men who egged him onward
D            D/G                D               D/G
 Fell on the wicked palace they rid the land of the queen

[Chorus]

D        A  Em        Em7
Could it be that now
D       A        Em    Em7
better days will come along?

[Bridge]

C                                  G
 But I see what's clear the evil's dead the queen had gone
C                                                G
The head beneath the crown had changed but all else remained the same
C     Em        F         G
  The land was still laid to waste
C     Em     F           G
So sadly the poor people sang
    A      G
The people sang:

[Chorus]

 D        A  Em        Em7
"Could it be that now
D       A        Em    Em7 D*
better days will come along?"
