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