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
