Al Stewart – Marion The Châtelaine (Guitar Intro Tab)

Dm                 G
When the great collector found her

Dm              G
She was just a girl

    Dm              G
She rang a chord inside him

        C        Am/B   Am     Am/G      F
And he stole her to the center of his world

     Fm                C  Am/B   Am     Am/G
Many wished they could be in her shoes

         F              G               C
But she surely did know how to have the blues

   Dm              G
He tried to make a star of her

Dm                 G
She never did know why

Dm                        G
And though she could have told him

            C          Am/B     Am     Am/G       F
There were some things that his money couldn't buy

    Fm           C   Am/B   Am   Am/G
She never knew a way to  refuse

         F              G               C
But she surely did know how to have the blues

Dm          A7             Dm    A7     Dm
They say tomorrow's such a long, long   time

Em         B7            Em
They say tomorrow never comes

C         C7              F    Am/E   Dm
Whatever happened to this dream of     mine

C          Em          Fm  G
Count the days as they run

Dm                  G          Dm           G
He built himself a castle on a hill above a bay

      Dm          G                 C      Am/B   Am
Where Marion the Chatelaine charmed every single one

     Am/G      F
Who came to stay

     Fm                C      Am/B     Am     Am/G
Some never knew, while others read the clues

          F              G                C
That she surely did know how to have the blues

Dm          A7             Dm     A7    Dm
They say tomorrow's such a long, long   time

Em         B7            Em
They say tomorrow never comes

C7                        F    Am/E  Dm
Whatever happend to this dream of     mine

C          Em          Fm  G
Count the days as they run

Dm                   G
When all the parties ended

        Dm           G
In the castle on the hill

    Dm                 G             C
The paintings and the statues stood alone

    Am/B    Am   Am/G        F
And all the corridors grew still

        Fm                  C      Am/B    Am   Am/G
She got caught between the shadows and the booze

         F              G                Ab     Bb    Ab    Bb     C
And she surely did know how to have the blues
