    Am                          F
She climbs up the stairs by the light of a candle
         Fadd#5                   F                   Am
Then the door   with no handle is closing behind her again


VERSE:
She places the light on a chair by the window,
Says a prayer while the wind blows
And then in her bedclothes she hides

          C/G           Bm
Now she’s safe from the darkness
      F             Am  
She’s safe from its clutch
    C/G         Bm
Now nothing can harm her
   F              E
At least not very much

C/G           C#         C/G        Am
What will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel?
C/G           C#         Am
What will you dream of tonight?
C/G          C#         C/G        Am
Who will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel?
C/G          C#         A
Who will you dream of tonight?


[play: | Am | A |]  [x2]


VERSE:
She climbs up a hill and is handed a parcel
Then she unwraps the parcel
And discovers a castle inside


VERSE:
The drawbridge is open and a voice from the water
Says "Welcome my daughter,
We’ve all been expecting you to come"


VERSE:
She climbs up the stairs with the light of a candle
Then the door with no handle is closing behind her again


CHORUS:
Now she’s safe from the darkness
She’s safe from it’s clutch
Now nothing can harm her
At least not very much
What will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel?
What will you dream of tonight?

Who will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel?
What will you dream of tonight?

Who will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel?
What will you dream of tonight?
