THE QUEEN IS DEAD (6.24)
INTRO: F G F#m F
A
Farewell to this land's cheerless marches
hemmed in like a boar between arches
her very Lowness with her head in a sling
C D
I'm truly sorry but it sounds like a wonderful thing
A
I say Charles don't you ever crave
to appear on the front of the Daily Mail
C D F G F#m F
dressed in your Mother's bridal veil?
A
And so I checked all the registered historical facts
and I was shocked into shame to discover
how I'm the 18th pale descendent
C D
of some old queen or other
A
Oh has the world changed, or have I changed?
oh has the world changed, or have I changed?
some nine year old tough who peddles drugs
C D F G F#m F
I swear to God, I swear I never even knew what drugs were
A
So I broke into the Palace
with a sponge and a rusty spanner
she said: "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
C D
I said: "that's nothing - you should hear me play piano"
A
We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
but when you are tied to your mother's apron
C D F G F#m F
no-one talks about castration
A
We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
like love and law and poverty
C D
these are the things that kill me
(same as above)
We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
but the rain that flattens my hair
these are the things that kill me
A
Passed the pub that saps your body
and the church who'll snatch your money
C
the Queen is dead, boys
D
and it's so lonely on a limb
Pass the pub that wrecks your body
and the church, all they want is your money
the Queen is dead, boys
and it's so lonely on a limb
A C D
Life is very long, when you're lonely
life is very long, when you're lonely
life is very long, when you're lonely
life is very long, when you're lonely
