Long Live The Queen

(intro)  A (abafado) A (abafado) A (abafado) A (abafado) 

         A 
I was sipping on a Whiskey when I got the call 
    F#m 
Yeah my friend Lex was lying in the hospital 
       Bm 
She'd been pretty sick for about half a year 
         E 
But it seems liked this time the end was drawing near 

      A 
So dropped my plans and jumped the next London train 
   F#m 
I found her laid up and in a lot of pain 
     Bm 
Her eyes met mine and then I understood 
            E                       E7 
That the weather forecast wasn't looking too good 
      A 
So I sat and spun her stories for a little while 
  F#m 
Tried to raise her mood and tried to raise a smile 
           Bm                            Bm 
But she silenced all my rambling with a shake of her head 
          E                       E7 
Drew me close and listen this is what she said now 
 
   A             F#m 
"You'll live to dance another day, 
          Bm                   E            E7 
it's just now you'll have to dance, for the two of us, 
    A          F#m 
so stop looking so damn depressed 
     Bm 
and sing with all your heart 
           E 
that the Queen is dead" 

          A 
Yeah she told me she was sick of all the hospital food 
        F#m 
And of doctors, distant relatives, draining her blood 
     Bm                                 Bm 
She said "I know I'm dying, but I'm not finished just yet, 
       E                          E7 
I am dying for a drink and for a cigarette" 
        A 
So we hatched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotel 
        F#m 
In the centre of the City and to raise some Hell 
       Bm                                           E 
They waste to all the clubs and then when everyone else is long asleep 
    E7 
We know we're good and done 
 
   A             F#m 
"You'll live to dance another day, 
          Bm                   E            E7 
it's just now you'll have to dance, for the two of us, 
    A          F#m 
so stop looking so damn depressed 
     Bm 
and sing with all your heart 
           E       Bm 
that the Queen is dead" 

(bridge) 
E                              Bm 
   And South London's not the same anymore 
E               Bm 
   The Queen is dead, 
E                       Bm                        E 
   and the last of the great has finally gone to bed 

(verso lento) 
             A 
Well I was working on some words when Sarah called me up 
              F#m 
She said that Lex had gone asleep and wasn't waking up 
    Bm 
And even though I knew that there was nothing to be done 
        E                                     E7 
I felt bad for not being there and now, well, she was gone 
      A 
So I tried to think what Lex would want me to do 
    F#m 
At times like this when I was feeling blue 
       Bm 
So I gathered up some friends to spread the sad sad news 
                      E           E7 
And we headed to the City for a drink or two 
And we sang 
 
A               F#m 
   "We live to dance another day, 
          Bm              E    E7 
it's just now we have to dance for one more of us, 
A                 F#m 
   so stop looking so damn depressed, 
     Bm 
and sing with all our hearts, 
 E              F# 
long live the Queen"
