[Verse]
D                 Gbm
The dance is over now
       Bm          D              G
As the melody just echoes in the night
G      A                G      A
Of the love song that I sang, out of tune
A                    D        G
To a drummer, out of time
D                     Gbm
I tripped the light fantastic
    Bm            D7              G
And never hearing harmonies were lost
G       A     G             A
And now I sit alone, in the silence
A              D      G A
Looking at the cost
 
[Chorus]
D                     G
'Cause the piper came today
G              D
He was hell to pay
D                       A
Cause he took my world away
A7                   D
When the piper came today
 
[Bridge]
D                    Gbm
In the shadows of the dim light
       Bm     D                  G
As the piper plays, the cheaters hide
A             G
Never giving thought
        A7                        D
To the cost, of the never-ending lies
D                          Gbm
And the sweater played his music
Bm                D7            G      Am Bm D
The more is added to the bitter price
A                     G
For the dance is over now
         A                         D       G D
And the melody just echoes in the night
 
[Outro]
D                     G
'Cause the piper came today
G              D
He was hell to pay
D                       A
Cause he took my world away
A7                   D
When the piper came today

D                    A
How people find the way
A7                   D         G D
When the piper came today
