Verse 1 ( Capo 2nd Fret )

				D																						D/A
The Kings been in his bedroom for weeks

Something is happening to the castle on the hill

				D																						D/A
The jesters telling jokes to everyone

				Gm																									D
There's whispers in the courtroom, is he crazy is he ill?
				A																					A*
Nobody has an answer but they keep on asking still


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