G G/B Csus2 G x3
[Verse]
N.C. G G/B Csus2 G How I hate the Queen of Pentacles Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Sitting on her golden throne C F In her domestic tyranny G G/B Csus2 G All roads lead back to her alone
[Verse 2]
N.C. G G/B Csus2 G The whole wide world is a great big drain Am Asus2 Am And the vortex is her heart Asus2 Her moods and wants and C F Wishes and whims G G/B Csus2 G All take precedence on this chart
[Chorus]
N.C.
But what do I know
C D B7 My card’s the fool, the fool, the fool C That merry rootless man, Am With air beneath my footstep F And providence as my plan G G/B Csus2 G Providence as my plan
[Verse 3]
N.C. G G/B Csus2 G Oh it’s such expensive innocence Am Asus2 Am Never knowing any cost Asus2 C F She throws around her finery G G/B Csus2 G For us to fetch when it gets lost
