I was sipping on a Whiskey when I got the call
F# minorF#m
Yeah my friend Lex was lying in the hospital
B minorBm
She'd been pretty sick for about half a year
E MajorE
But it seems liked this time the end was drawing near
A augmentedA
So dropped my plans and jumped the next London train
F# minorF#m
I found her laid up and in a lot of pain
B minorBm
Her eyes met mine and then I understood
E7E7
That the weather forecast wasn't looking too good
A augmentedA
So I sat and spun her stories for a little while
F# minorF#m
Tried to raise her mood and tried to raise a smile
B minorBm
But she silenced all my rambling with a shake of her head
E7E7
Drew me close and listen this is what she said now
F# minorF#m Bmadd11
"You'll live to dance another day,
E7E7
it's just now you'll have to dance, for the two of us,
F# minorF#m Bmadd11
so stop looking so damn depressed
D MajorD
and sing with all your heart
E MajorE
that the Queen is dead"
A augmentedA
Yeah she told me she was sick of all the hospital food
F# minorF#m
And of doctors, distant relatives, draining her blood
B minorBm
She said "I know I'm dying, but I'm not finished just yet,
E7E7
I am dying for a drink and for a cigarette"
A augmentedA
So we hatched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotel
F# minorF#m
In the centre of the City and to raise some Hell
E MajorE
Lay waste to all the clubs and then when everyone else is long asleep
E7E7
We know we're good and done
F# minorF#m Bmadd11
"You'll live to dance another day,
E7E7
it's just now you'll have to dance, for the two of us,
F# minorF#m Bmadd11
so stop looking so damn depressed
D MajorD
and sing with all your heart
E MajorE
that the Queen is dead__________
E MajorE
And South London's not the same anymore
E MajorE
The Queen is dead,
E MajorE
and the last of the great has finally gone to bed
A augmentedA
Well I was working on some words when Sarah called me up
F# minorF#m
She said that Lex had gone asleep and wasn't waking up
B minorBm
And even though I knew that there was nothing to be done
E7E7
I felt bad for not being there and now, well, she was gone
A augmentedA
So I tried to think what Lex would want me to do
F# minorF#m
At times like this when I was feeling blue
B minorBm
So I gathered up some friends to spread the sad sad news
E7E7
And we headed to the City for a drink or two
And we sang
F# minorF#m Bmadd11
"You'll live to dance another day,
E7E7
it's just now you'll have to dance, for the two of us,
F# minorF#m Bmadd11
so stop looking so damn depressed
D MajorD
and sing with all your heart
D MajorD
long live the Queen"
