[Intro]
D Bm G G
[Verse 1]
D Em G
Gretchen grabbed her copy of ‘the catcher in the rye’,
D Em G D
And she shoved it in her rucksack with her packed lunch and a Ruger .45,
Em G
The tube was crowded but she didn’t really mind,
D Em G
She liked the close proximity it made her feel alive,
G
Cause she didn’t want to waste another fraction of a second,
D A Bm G
Isolated from the people that she saw,
Today was different, she could feel Westminster beckon,
D A Bm Em
She wasn’t staying silent anymore,
G
As she sat thinking ‘bout the dream she had the night before,
[Instrumental]
D Bm G G
[Verse 2]
D Em G
The crowds were gathered ready to shout and abuse,
D Em G D
Gretchen squeezed her way up to the front so that she had a decent view,
Em G
A head of state on foot about to wander through,
D Em G
200 angry people with complaints long overdue,
G
And they didn’t want to waste another perfect opportunity,
D A Bm
To give this lousy, lying sod what for,
G
and Gretchen’s heart was pounding faster than a bumblebee,
D A Bm Em
As she reached for her gun and she had a thought,
G D
A funny thought about the dream she had the night before,
[Instrumental]
D Bm G G
[Verse 3]
D Em G
Gretchen cleared the fence just as her prey was walking past,
D Em G D
She shouted “Oh Prime Minister!” and aimed the gun and heard an instant blast,
Em G
And as she hit the ground she realized her fate,
D Em G
A bullet to the chest from a young copper by the gate,
G
And he knew he couldn’t wait another fraction of a second,
D A Bm G
To neutralize the threat he saw appear,
G D
As she lay dying she was calmer than she’d ever felt,
D A Bm Em
She waited for the world to disappear,
G D
It disappeared into the dream she had the night before,
[Instrumental]
D Bm G G
[Bridge]
D E G
The one thing that no one could have predicted,
D E G
Was the content of the letter that she had inside her coat,
D E G
But that’s the thing the morning papers went with,
Em G
“The girl who chose to die just to send us all a note”,
D Em G
And Gretchen knew the gun was never loaded,
D Em G
She simply couldn’t go on feeling frustrated by life,
D Em G
So she wrote an open letter to the public,
D Em G
And the public had it read to them by newsreaders that night,
Em
And this is all it said,
G
Dear Public,
D E G
They get big by making us feel small,
D E G
I’d rather play this game by my rules, or not play this game at all,
D E
They shoved the world into millions of boxes,
G
and I can’t help but feel the squeeze,
D E G
So I’ll take my cue from Thelma and Louise.
(Play three times)
D E G
So I’ll take my cue from Thelma and Louise.
D E G
So I’ll take my cue from Thelma and Louise.
