Formed in 1986 in Anaheim, California, United States as a ska punk band inspired by Madness, the lineup of No Doubt initially comprised John Spence as lead vocal, Gwen Stefani on back-up vocals, and her brother Eric Stefani on keyboards. While playing the party-band circuit around Anaheim, the trio picked up bassist Tony Kanal. Hardened by the suicide of Spence in December 1987, No Doubt nevertheless continued; Gwen became the lone vocalist and the group added guitarist Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young.

Intro (Fig. 1)
Verse 1 (Fig. 2): Once was a magical place Over time it was lost Price increased the cost Now the fortune of the kingdom Is locked up in its dungeon vaults The castle floor lies in traps With coiled wires set back Decoyed by old cheese Now the drawbridge has been lifted As the millions They drop to their knees
Chorus (DmBb 4x): The pay homage to a king Whose dreams are buried in their minds His tears are frozen stiff Icicles drip from his eyes
Verse 2 (Fig. 2): The cold wind blows as it snows On those who fight to get in On heads that are small Disillusioned as they enter They're unaware what's behind castle walls But now it's written in stone The king has been overthrown by jesterly fools And the power of the people Shall come to believe they do rule
Chorus (DmBb 4x): The pay homage to a king Whose dreams are buried in their minds His tears are frozen stiff Icicles drip from his eyes
(Fig. 3 2x) Welcome to the tragic kingdom Cornfields of popcorn have yet to spring open
(Fig. 4 2x)
Interlude (F#mC#EB 2x): Have they lost their heads Or are they just al blind mice We've heard all their stories One too many times
(F#mFmEmD#m (B)) Hypnotized by fireflies That glow in the dark Midgets that disguise themselves As tiny little dwarfs The parade that's electrical It serves no real purpose Just takes up a lot of juice Just to impress us
(missing part, sorry....)
Solo (Fig. 5)
Chorus (DmBb 4x): The pay homage to a king Whose dreams are buried in their minds His tears are frozen stiff Icicles drip from his eyes
(DmBb) Ohoo, they dripped from his eyes into the night They dripped from his eyes... They pay homage to a king, buried in their minds They dripped from his eyes
Outro (Fig. 6 part one) Welcome to the tragic kingdom Cornfields op popcorn have yet to spring open
(Fig. 6 part two x) Welcome to the tragic kingdom Welcome to the tragic kingdom Welcome to the tragic kingdom Welcome to the tragic kingdom Welcome to the tragic kingdom (and more and more and more)
