Intro/chorus x2:
Am - Amadd4 - A5 - Amadd4 - Am
Am - Amadd4 - A5 - Amadd4 - Am G

           F                                C
She was a princess, much lower than people thought
   F                                              C
A master of nothing, a mistress of something she thought

Chorus x2

          F                                          
She could talk about things that never mattered ever
C
From one person's miserable life after another
          F
She could talk to the French and Germans at will
C                               G
They'd never listen.. They never will

Chorus
The chinese envoy was here, the chinese envoy was here but left
Chorus
The chinese envoy was here but left

F                                               C
Calling out her name you'd be surprised at what came
F                                        C
Galloping out of the darkness just like furniture
F                                                                          C
We'd have lost it all if it hadn't been for Cardinal Richelieu And all his courtiers

Chorus
The chinese envoy was here, the chinese envoy was here but left
Chorus
The chinese envoy was here but left 

G                      F
in his broken hearted pagoda.
