G+G G/BG/B Csus2Csus2 G+G (x3)

Verse
N.C.          G+G     G/BG/B Csus2Csus2 G+G
How I hate the Queen of Pentacles
           A minorAm   Asus2Asus2 A minorAm Asus2Asus2
Sitting on her golden throne
        C majorC    FF
In her domestic tyranny
              G+G   G/BG/B Csus2Csus2 G+G
All roads lead back to her alone

verse 2
N.C.                G+G   G/BG/B Csus2Csus2 G+G
The whole wide world is a great big drain
           A minorAm  Asus2Asus2 A minorAm
And the vortex is her heart
  Asus2Asus2
Her moods and wants and
C majorC         FF
Wishes and whims
              G+G   G/BG/B Csus2Csus2 G+G
All take precedence on this chart

N.C.
But what do I know
       C majorC     D MajorD     B7B7
My card?s the fool, the fool, the fool
          C majorC
That merry rootless man,
          A minorAm
With air beneath my footstep
          FF
And providence as my plan
        G+G   G/BG/B Csus2Csus2 G+G
Providence as my plan

verse 3
N.C.          G+G     G/BG/B Csus2Csus2 G+G
Oh it?s such expensive innocence
         A minorAm  Asus2Asus2 A minorAm
Never knowing any cost
  Asus2Asus2       C majorC    FF
She throws around her finery
              G+G   G/BG/B Csus2Csus2 G+G
For us to fetch when it gets lost

Solo
