'Ogre Battle' chords guide

Words and music by Freddie Mercury

A   A  A  A  D
Fa fa fa fa faa
          G                        Am
Now once upon a time - an old man told me a fable
G                  Em              C       D
When the piper is gone - and the soup is cold on your table
             G                   Em
And if the black crow flies to find a new destination
G             Em
That is the sign
  Am  Bm7-Am
Come tonight
  Am           Bm7-Am
Come to the ogre sight
 Am   G  Am  G-Am-G-Am-G  D
Come to the ogre-battle-fight

             G                         Em
He gives a great big cry and he can swallow up the ocean
G                                 Em         C                 D
With a mighty tongue he catches flies - the palm of a hand incredible size
     G                       Bm           Am  Bm
One great big eye - has a focus in your direction
G                 Em
Now the battle is on (Yeah yeah yeah)

Come tonight
Come to the ogre sight
Come to the ogre-battle-fight

[famous riff]
A  A  A  A   D
Fa fa fa fa faa
Hoooa

A  (hit at the beginning of each line)
The ogre-men are still inside
The two-way mirror mountain
You gotta keep down right out of sight
You can't see in, but they can see out
B
"Ooh keep a look out"

B   (hit at the beginning of each line)
The ogre-men are coming out
From the two-way mirror mountain
They're running up behind and they're coming all about
Can't go east 'cos you gotta go south

[guitar solo]
Aaargh
Aaaaaaaarghh



Am
Ogre-men are going home
Am              C   Am
The great big fight is over
Bdim
Bugle blow, let trumpet cry
(Bdim)        E             Am     Dm-Am-Dm
Ogre battle lives forever more - oh oh oh
Am
You can come along
Am
You can come along
 Am Bdim Am-Bdim Am-Em
Come to ogre     battle

[famous riff]

A   A  A  A    Dm
Fa fa fa fa FAAAAAAA
