The Doll House Lyrics - Phil Ochs

Pre>d g d 

Lost in the valley of vaults/dolls/oz(? ) 

G d g d 

Fell from the path, it was nobody's fault 

Bm a 

That I was alone. 

D g d 

Time dripped from the trees 

G - d 

Left through the nail (I leapt through a lamp/land/lap(? ) (? )) 

G d g a 

I fell to my knees before the throne 

Bm g bm 

And the crown was covered jewels, sparkling schools 

A 

The beautiful faun/falls/(? ) 

G a 

The magnificent battle was fought 

Bm g a 

And cinderella's soldier fish was caught 

Bm a 

And the lady from the lake 

Bm a 

Who helped me to escape 

G em a 

Led me to myself at last 

Em a bm /a/d 

Though I danced with the dolls in the doll house 

G d g d 

The flower fled from my feet, 

G d g d 

Tom sawyer voice through the hole of the key, 

Bm a 

Landed so gently. 

D g d 

Castles cover the cave, 

G d g d 

I had no choice, the visions were brave 

Bm a 

And the phantoms were friendly, 

Bm g 

And pirate jenny was dancing for pennies, 

Bm a 

The knucklebones tossed in a spin, 

G a 

There were silver songs on her skin. 

Bm g a 

And she wasn't caring when the ship came in. 

And the lady from the lake 

Helped me to escape 

Led me to myself at last, 

Though I danced with the dolls in the doll house 

D g d 

My costume dropped to the floor, 

G d g d 

Naked at last, I couldn't fight any-more, 

Bm a 

And the service was rendered. 

D g d g d 

A poem fell from the wine, buried the past. 

G d bm a 

The future was mine and the present sur-rendered. 

Bm g 

And the ballet master is beckoning faster, 

Bm a g a 

The ballerina was posed, in the fragile beauty we froze. 

Bm g a 

Let go, let go, let go, let go, let go. 

And the lady from the lake 

Who helped me to escape 

Left me with myself at last 

Though I danced with the doll in the doll house
