Tiberius Cifra

[Verse 1]
Am                              Em7                              Dm7
The story of a nasty man with a wicked plan from a foreign land
                                     C               G
He was planning to kill the king and steal the queen
Am                                      Em7                                 Dm7
The great king was old and wise, with a thousand eyes in the form of spies
                               C                       G
Who knew of the evil scheme to kill the king and queen
Am                              Em7                                    Dm7
The king was told the news of a man called  Zeus and his wicked views
                                  C                   G
So he sent four of his best knights to serve a fight
 
[Chorus]

Tiberius
Am               Dm7   Em7
are you serious?
Am                Dm7   Em7
Where’s Tiberius?
 
[Verse 2]
Am                       Em7                                Dm7
The king was told that Tiberius the knight was not to fight
                                      C                                   G
Seems he had too much to drink passed out on the floor to drunk to think
Am                                    Em7                                             Dm7
King said he would sober up cause “If Tibby don’t fight then we’re shit out of luck”
                                   C                        G
Zeus’ plan was almost complete, he intends to strike at the end of next week
Am                              Em7                             Dm7
Later on Tibby came to when the king’s men told him what to do
                                             C                                 G
He went right into the grey green mist where Zeus’ land was supposed to exist

Tiberius
Am               Dm7   Em7
are you serious?
Am                Dm7  Em7
Where’s Tiberius?
 
[Verse 3]
Am                          Em7                                          Dm7
Once he knew what to do, he flew on his horse so that he was out of view
                                     C                       G
At the base of the great green mist, Tibby was stopped by an old
             F F5 F#5 G5 G#5 A5 A#5 B5 B5 C5 C#5 D5 D#5 E5 F5
fowl witch…
Am                               Em7                                  Dm7
She told him where to go, at the price of his hair and a coin of gold
                                      C                      G
Zeus lived in the heart of a bog with creatures as guards surrounded by fog
Am                               Em7                            Dm7
He knew who was on his way so he set some traps before the lake
                                          C                   G
On delay until the end of the week so his secret plan to be unleashed
 
[Chorus]
Am       Dm7   Em7
Tiberius
Am               Dm7   Em7
are you serious?
Am                Dm7  Em7
Where’s Tiberius?
 
[Interlude]
Am Em7 Dm7 C G
(Go get that boy tiberius you been up to no good)
 
[Chorus]
Am       Dm7   Em7
Tiberius
Am               Dm7   Em7
are you serious?
Am                Dm7  Em7
Where’s Tiberius?
 
[Verse 4]
Am                          Em7                                     Dm7
At the edge of Zeus’ bog, Tiberius waited sitting down on the front
                                       C                                 G       F
Sat there in the great green mist ’til nightfall came and he started his trip
Am                             Em7                                         Dm7
He ascended through the trees, flied through the mist at the fastest speed
                                          C                           G
Until he landed in the great tree of oak, which was directly above of Zeus’ foul home
Am                                  Em7                                        Dm7
He could hear his wicked snores, he descended the tree and approached the door
                                          C                   G
Just then a guard awoke from his sleep to see Tiberius at the base of the tree
 
[Chorus]
Am       Dm7   Em7
Tiberius
Am               Dm7   Em7
are you serious?
Am                Dm7  Em7
Where’s Tiberius?
 
[Verse 5]
Am                                            Em7                                  Dm7
Before the creature could make a move, he was struck by a dagger from Tibby’s boot
                                         C                                 G
He fell with a splash into the bog, then floated down stream like a wooden log
Am                                 Em7                                Dm7
The other guards did not awake but Tibby killed them just to be safe
                                 C                G
He did this without a peep while Zeus was inside, sound asleep
Am                                     Em7                                               Dm7
He crept in through the front door and up to the bedroom, where he could hear Zeus snore
                                          C                     G
He thrust his sword into the bed, where a pillow’s place looked like Zeus’ head
Am                                         Em7                               Dm7
Tiberius knew that he had been tricked and Zeus was there right next to him
                                     C               G
Holding an arrow to his head saying “Get down boy or you’ll be dead”
Am                               Em7                               Dm7
Then Tiberius he heard a sound familiar to him from his home town
                                             C                        G
It was the honk of his brother Meebs who had come to his aid from the land of steeds
Am                                  Em7                             Dm7
Meebs burst in through the door and shots Zeus down onto the floor
                                    C                           G
The two tied Zeus up real tight and sent him on his way to be imprisoned for life
 
[Chorus]
Am       Dm7   G
Tiberius
Am               Dm7   G
are you serious?
Am                Dm7  G
Where’s Tiberius?
