  THE QUEEN IS DEAD  (6.24)

  

  

  INTRO: G  A  G#m  G

           B 

  Farewell to this land's cheerless marches

  hemmed 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

  

  (same as above)

  We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry 

  and talk about precious things

  but the rain that flattens my hair

  these are the things that kill me

              B

  Passed the pub that saps your body

  and the church who'll snatch your money 

               D     

  the Queen is dead, boys

              E                              

  and it's so lonely on a limb

  

  Pass the pub that wrecks your body

  and the church, all they want is your money 

  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
