(Corrected some chords, from a video at http://youtu.be/Sz_sXp_SWKg. Easier to play now. The chord names need some review. Noticed that the riff is not played while singing.)
(Minor tweaks. Noticed that the part in brackets is only played once: *C D *C D G instead of *C D *C D *C D G. Got no time to fix it now, sorry.)

                        C    D
There was a castle by a waterfall,
       C               D
With a pink and purple wall,
      C                      G

And a princess living there.

                           C    D

She had no parents and was all alone,

    C             D
She got by on her own,

        G              
And she liked it pretty well.


                          D

'Cause she never wore her socks,

              G
She had a pet snake,

                 D       
She bought a red guitar,

                    Em
And she ate a whole cake.


                    C    Csus2    Am       G       D

And there wasn't anybody there to tell her what to do,
       B7           Em         A

So she did what she wanted to.

     C                          D7                         *C D
Everybody knew the story of the princess who saved herself.

 *C           D
(Princess who saved herself)

 *C           D             G
(Princess who saved herself)


                          C      D

There was a dragon with a pointy tail,

       C             D
He was bigger than a whale,
        C                   G

And his breath was terrible.
                               
                               C     D

He scared the princess when he came around,

         C               D
Tried to burn the castle down,

        G                      G6sus4/E G G6sus4/E G
But she caught him by his tail.


                       D

Then she tied him to a tree,

                       G
So the dragon couldn't fly,
                    D

She told him he was mean,

                       Em
And it made the dragon cry.


                 C   Csus2     Am      G        D

When he finally apologized she offered him some tea,

     B7        Em          A
He accepted it graciously.
       C                             D7                        *C D

Now he visits every weekend with the princess who saved herself.
 *C           D

(Princess who saved herself)
 *C           D        Eb

(Princess who saved herself)




(Bridge phone conversation...)



G                            C    D

There was a witch who was an evil queen,

        C                D
She was wrinkled old and green,

        C              G
And she hated everyone.

                            C      D

She saw the princess in her silver gown,

        C           D
Put the poison apple down,

          G                            G6sus4/E G G6sus4/E G
Asked her where she bought her clothes.


                        D

So they got the witch a dress,

                        G
Put some make-up on her face,

                  D
They started up a band,

                          Em
And the dragon played the bass.


                    C    Csus2       Am    G        D


Every Saturday they play until their fingertips are sore,
       B7            Em           A

Mostly Math Rock and Cuddle Core.
         C                                  D7                       *C D

And they call themselves The Kingdom Of The Princess Who Saved Herself.

 *C           D
(Princess who saved herself)
 *C           D

(Princess who saved herself)

 *C           D

The princess who saved herself.

 *C           D
(Princess who saved herself)

 *C           D             G
(Princess who saved herself)
