[G]
[A] or a [Abm] small girl [G] girl
[E] [B] She's a match to the small shitters
Hemmed in like a bra between arches
Her very loneness with her head in a sling
I'm truly sorry [D] but it sounds like a [E] wonderful pity
[B]
I say, Charles, won't you ever pray
to appear on the front of the daily [D] mail
You're more than a rest and you're more [E] than a ride and [G] bend
[A] And [Abm]
[G] [E] [A] [B] so I checked all the registered historical facts
and I was shoved into shame to discover
how I'm the 18th pale descendant
[D] of some old queen of [E] a bar
Oh, [B] has the world changed and you've all changed
Oh, has the world changed and you've all changed
You mean man, you're a tough extract
A small trick, I [D] swear, and I really knew [E] what I [G] brought
So
[Em] [A] [Abm]
[G] [E] [B] I broke into the palace
with a sponge and a rusty banner
She said, Annie, you cannot sing
I said, that's nothing, [D] you should hear me play the [E] piano
[B] We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
But when you're tied to your mother's apron
[D] no one talks [E] about [G] frustration
[A] We [Abm]
[G] [E] [B] can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
Like love and war and poverty
[D]
[Em] We [B] can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
Like the rain that flattens my hair
[D]
[E] [B] Like [G]
[Abm]
[A] [E] [Bm]
[B] the spark that stops your body
and the tear that snaps your money
The queen [G] is dead, boy, [A] [E] and it's so lovely on her [B] lips
Like the spark that breaks your body
and the tear that's all I want is your money
The queen [D] is dead, boy, [E] and it's so lovely on her [G] lips
