Verse 1 ( Capo 2nd Fret )

																										
The Kings been in his bedroom for weeks
																							
In exile from the world, he never speaks
																													
The Queen is in the counting house, her fingers in the till
																									*
Something is happening to the castle on the hill

Verse 2
																										
The jesters telling jokes to everyone
																							
Sayin "now he's gone, well ain't it fun"
																													
There's whispers in the courtroom, is he crazy is he ill?
																									*
Nobody has an answer but they keep on asking still


Chorus
																									
And a friend of mine, one of the few
																													
Has locked himself away like Howard Hughes
																														
They're trying to replace him but they know they never will
																																								
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 
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 
ones self.  Enjoy..
