[N] All the world's a bitch
[A] This is [E] the end of [Bm] Wilhelmina
[F#m]
[A] She was a girl [D] who took a chance
[A] She could [E] have been a [Bm] ballerina
[F#m]
[A] She could never
[F#m] stand the pain
[Dm]
[A] This is the end of [Bm] Wilhelmina
[F#m]
[A] Smoke and flames they'd fire [F#m] without a trace
[F]
[A] And though it [E] was known she [C#m]
used [Bm] a double
[F#m]
[A] Yes, she [G] was always born to trouble
[D] [Dm]
[E] She promised, she promised me
[D] At last she lived [F] a life of [F#m] forgery
[Bm] Oh, and you [F#m] will see her
[Bm] She's like a world [F#m]-wide
[G] Leading all [D] in constant [E] memory
[F] And I [C] never asked her to [G] explain
[F] How [C] she always won [G] the game
[F] No [C] magic I could find
[Am] No [Em] water and too wine
[F] She [C] has a lucky number [G] nine

[D] She would [F] always sing [D] a [F#m] lullaby
[Bm] Oh, if you [F#m] would hear her
[Bm] She would steal [F#m] your heart
[Bm] And you'd still [F#m] believe her
[G] As the wind [D] is blowing as [E] far
[F] And [C] I never asked her to [G] explain
[F] How [C] she always won [G] the game
[F] No [C] magic I could find
[Am] No [Em] water and too wine
[F] She [C] has a lucky number [G] nine
[A] This is [C#m] the end of [Bm] Wilhelmina
[F#m]
[A] She was a girl [D] who took a chance
