[Verse]
    Em                 C
The wands of smoke are rising
         D               G
From the walls of the Bastille
    C                      Am
And through the streets of Paris
       D              B7
Runs a sense of the unreal

    Em               C
The Kings have all departed
      D              G
Their servants are nowhere
   C                Am
We burned out their mansions
       D              B7
In the name of Robespierre


[Chorus]
             C
And still we wait
D           G   D G
 To see the day begin
    C     D             G  D   G
Our time ... is wasting in the wind
          B   C
Wondering why
          B       C
Wondering why, it echoes
            Em            B   [ Em ]
Through the lonely palace of Versailles


[Interlude]
| Em Am | D Gmaj7 | Cmaj7 Am | B |


[Verse]
  Em                C
Inside the midnight councils
    D                 G
The lamps are burning low
       C                Am
On you sit and talk all through the night
            D                B7
But there's just no place to go

    Em           C
And Bonaparte is coming
         D             G
With his army from the south
  C                 Am
Marat your days are numbered
    D               B7
And we live hand to mouth


[Chorus]
         C
While we wait
D           G   D G
 To see the day begin
    C     D             G  D   G
Our time ... is wasting in the wind
          B   C
Wondering why
          B       C
Wondering why, it echoes
            Em            B   [ Em ]
Through the lonely palace of Versailles


[Interlude]

[Verse]
     Em                 C
The ghost of revolution
         D               G
Still prowls the Paris streets
    C                      Am
Down all the restless centuries
        D           B7
It wonders incomplete

     Em                 C
It speaks inside the cheap red wine
         D               G
Of cafe summer nights
    C                      Am
Its red and amber voices
        D           B7
Call the cars at traffic lights


[Chorus]
           C
Why do you wait
D           G   D G
 To see the day begin
    C     D             G  D   G
Our time ... is wasting in the wind
          B   C
Wondering why
          B       C
Wondering why, it echoes
            Em            B     Em       Em
Through the lonely palace of Versailles
                                        [break]
Em         Am   D     G
 Wondering why ... it echoes
            Em            B     [ Em }
Through the lonely palace of Versailles
