||D - - -|C - G/B -|D - - -|C - G/B -|| (4x) 
[D]In the magic [C]garden [G/B]some were
[D]Singing, some were [C]dancing [G/B]while
The [D]midnight moon shone [C]brightly [G/B]over[D]head [C - G/B -]
The [D]stars so gaily [C]glistened [G/B]down
The [D]sphinx in silence [C]listened [G/B]to
The [D]Magician tell of [C]lives that [G/B]he had [D]led [C - G/B -]
[Dm]Let the [E7]bells of [Gm]freedom [D]ring
[Dm]Songs of [E7]love to [Gm]Friday's [D]king
[Em]Let's all [G]go to the [D]Magician's [Bm]Birthday
[Em]It's in a [G]forest, but [D]not so [Bm]far away
[Em]Much to [G]do and so [D]much to [Bm]say
[B]While we listened to the [A]orchid [G]orchestra [Dm]play

[D]Then at the dead of [C]midnight [G/B]as we
[D]Watched the dancing [C]fire[G/B]light
The [D]air grew cold and [C]seemed to [G/B]dull the [D]flame [C - G/B -]
[D]The fire died, the [C]music [G/B]faded
[D]Filled with fear of [C]death we [G/B]waited
For [D]now we knew some [C]evil [G/B]was to [D]blame [C - G/B -]

||Dm - - -|Am - - -|Dm - - -|Am - - -|| (2x)
I challenge [Dm]you, I challenge you [Am]all
For all you [Dm]own and all you [Am]know
And by [G]all the powers of [Am]darkness I will [Dm]steal what is [A]mine
Surrender [Dm]now or face my [Am]spite
I grant you [Dm]it may be [Am]Friday night
But did you [G]know this day also [A]numbers thir[Dm]teen [A]
[Dm]First I'll give you [G]fire
I turn your [A]fire into a sleepy [Dm]stream
Yes [Dm]now I give you [G]darkness
From your [A]horror I'll create a [Dm]dream
[Gm]You cannot fight me for I [A]have the sword of [Dm]hate
[Gm]But one thing you [Dm]can't see, [Gm]my answer is [Dm]simply
An [G]impenetrable [A]fortress
Of [Dm]love_[G]_[Dm]_[A]__[Dm]love_[G]_[Dm]_[A]__[Dm] |A---|G---|B---|
The [E]fear went as quickly as it [Am]came
The [E]air was clear, the fire burned a[D]gain
The [E]flames leapt, the [Am]organ played
The [D]swans sang to [G]greet the day
And [E]then we knew that [A]Love will find [Dm]love
Will find [A]love will find [Dm]love will find [G]Love will find [Dm]Love
Will find [A]love will find [Dm]love will find [G]Love will find [Dm]Love....
