The Doll House Phil Ochs
Lost in the vall[D]ey of vaults[G]/dolls/Oz([D]?)
[G]Fell from the [D]path, it was [G]nobody's [D]fault
That [Bm]I was al[A]one.
[D]Time [G]dripped from the [D]trees
[G]Left through the nail [-] [D] (I leapt through a lamp/land/lap/laugh(?) (?))
I [G]fell to my [D]knees [G]before the [A]throne
And the crown was [Bm]covered jewel[G]s, sparkling [Bm]schools
The beautiful [A]fauns/falls/(?)
The [G]magnificent battle was [A]fought
And Cind[Bm]erella's so[G]ldier fish was ca[A]ught
And the [Bm]lady from the [A]lake
Who [Bm]helped me to esc[A]ape
[G]Led me to mys[Em]elf at l[A]ast
Though I [Em]danced with the [A]dolls in the [Bm]doll house[/A/D]
[G]The [D]flower [G]fled from my [D]feet,
[G]Tom Sawyer [D]voice through the [G]hole of the [D]key,
[Bm]Landed so [A]gently.
[D]Castles co[G]ver the cave,[D]
[G]I had no [D]choice, the [G]visions were [D]brave
And the [Bm]phantoms were [A]friendly,
And [Bm]Pirate Jenny was [G]dancing for pennies,
The [Bm]knucklebones tossed in a [A]spin,
There were [G]silver songs on her [A]skin.
And [Bm]she wasn't caring [G]when the ship came [A]in.
And the [Bm]lady from the [A]lake
Who [Bm]helped me to esc[A]ape
[G]Led me to mys[Em]elf at l[A]ast
Though I [Em]danced with the [A]dolls in the [Bm]doll house[/A/D]
My [D]costume [G]dropped to the [D]floor,
[G]Naked at [D]last, I couldn't [G]fight any-[D]more,
And the [Bm]service was [A]rendered.
A p[D]oem [G]fell from the [D]wine, [G]buried the [D]past.
The [G]future was [D]mine and the [Bm]present sur-[A]rendered.
And the [Bm]ballet master is [G]beckoning faster,
The [Bm]ballerina was [A]posed, in the [G]fragile beauty we [A]froze.
Let [Bm]go, let go, let [G]go, let go, let [A]go.
And the [Bm]lady from the [A]lake
Who [Bm]helped me to esc[A]ape
[G]Led me to mys[Em]elf at l[A]ast
Though I [Em]danced with the [A]dolls in the [Bm]doll house [/A/D]
