My Queen

For Her Grace, Duchess Niobe
Words and music by JP Andrews

G                  C                G
These are not the lands that I grew up in
C         Em       Am        G    D         G
These are not the lands I grew to love
                   C               G       Gmaj9    Em        C
These are not the fields that I walked in    as a    child
                                  D               G
Although the same stars shine above
                C                 G          C
And I am not a knight on honor's field
     Em      Am   G         D            G
I am no high Officer of State
                    C                G       Gmaj9   Em        C
And I have often wondered just what brought   me     here
                                  D
Though God alone must know my fate, but...

chorus:
 C  D              G Gmaj9   Em
My Queen you will always      be
   C               D     G  Gmaj9  Em
My Queen you will always be
    C              D     G
My Queen you will always be

I've climbed the highest mountain in Cynagua
I've sailed the rolling Mistland sea
And crossed the burning desert 'neath the Aten sun
To see the crescent moons of fair Caid
I've served in courts and carnivals and armies
With my own eyes seen the naked truth of war
And through it all I've loved and lost
And sown and reaped
And if you'd but ask me I'd do more, for...

chorus

But days of glory all too soon are ended
To the sweetest things there still must come the night
And tomorrow's sun will see
Another hand upon the throne
Bestowed as prize for courage and for might
Though time and distance someday must divide us
In far future days that no man's eyes can see
I've heard it said that all men need
A goddess or a Queen
And you have been both these to me, and...
