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

And providence as my plan

               G
Providence as my plan
