Gmaj7Gmaj7    C6C6
  Under soft lights
    Bm7Bm7      E minor 7Em7 Em6Em6
With a taped back face
  Am7Am7     D7D7
Our soft spoken queen
     Gmaj7Gmaj7     C6C6
Takes her place on the stage


    Bm7Bm7      E minor 7Em7 Em6Em6
As the big curtains open
     Am7Am7      D7D7
The last troops run in quick
    Gmaj7Gmaj7
For the one and only
  Gmaj7Gmaj7
Marlene Dietrich

♫ Verse:
Am7Am7
 She whispers Demurely
Bm7Bm7       E minor 7Em7
'from The Blue Angel'
   Am7Am7
The song we all know
  F#6F#6 F#F#+5   Bm7Bm7
The one that we've paid for

E minor 7Em7
Fills the hall tight
  A7A7
And pulls at our hearts
  Am7Am7     D7D7
And puts in her place
   Gmaj7Gmaj7     C6C6
The girl she once was
     Bm7Bm7    E minor 7Em7 Em6Em6
In that suit of '33
       Am7Am7        D7D7
Soundtracked by disapproving commentary

    Gmaj7Gmaj7    C6C6
And my shuddering neighbour
     Bm7Bm7      E minor 7Em7 Em6Em6
Turns and roughly rouses me
    Am7Am7          D7D7     Gmaj7Gmaj7      C6C6
He says, 'While a kiss on the lips may not make a frog a prince
  Bm7Bm7   E minor 7Em7 Em6Em6  Am7Am7   D7D7   Gmaj7Gmaj7
An orgasm renders any queen a witch: metamorphosis exists!'

♫ Verse:
Am7Am7
Damn all us idiots
Bm7Bm7
Damn us till death
Am7Am7
Relentlessly trying to untie our knots of
 F#6F#6   F#F#+5    Bm7Bm7
Rivers and roads that defy all sense

  E minor 7Em7
But her hands loosen all
  A7A7
And her voice brings you youth
Am7Am7          D7D7
Her cheeks cradle the holy breath

♫ Outro:
   Gmaj7Gmaj7         C6C6        Gmaj7Gmaj7    C6C6
That pumps the lungs of her Mackie Messer, ooh
    Gmaj7Gmaj7         C6C6        Gmaj7Gmaj7   C6C6
And she beats the heart of her Mackie Messer, ooh
    Gmaj7Gmaj7          C6C6
And she walks the stage with her Mackie Messer, ooh
    Gmaj7Gmaj7         C6C6        Gmaj7Gmaj7     G+G
And she makes us smile with her Mackie Messer, ooh
