Verse 1:
 A augmentedA                   C# minorC#m
If you are more blitz than ritz they'll tell you every day
      F# minorF#m                 D MajorD
That she's much too proud to take you out, her dreams a frock away
   A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
And oh, her majesty knows
   D MajorD               E MajorE
That damn fine girls need damn fine clothes

Verse 2:
A augmentedA                 C# minorC#m
Young girls dance in arabesques so swiftly through the dark
       F# minorF#m                D MajorD
And they're haunted by those hounds of men who search for tell tale hearts
  A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
And oh, we all still know
     D MajorD               E MajorE
That it's far too hard to ever let them go


Chorus:
B minorBm          D MajorD            A augmentedA
"Don't lose sight of what you were hoping to be"
       F# minorF#m  C# minorC#m
Blood stains a rosary
    B minorBm              D MajorD        A augmentedA    E MajorE  F# minorF#m D MajorD
And by night the choir's screaming "set that child alight."


Verse 3:
A augmentedA                 C# minorC#m
If you long for foreign seas when winter proves too cruel
      F# minorF#m              D MajorD
They'll be spitting from balconies, the drunken priest's a fool
   A augmentedA           F# minorF#m
God knows, he's too poor to go
     D MajorD          E MajorE
Begging down on the streets below

Verse 4:
A augmentedA                C# minorC#m
Red lace from another class tied loosely round their necks
      F# minorF#m                      D MajorD
And there's young love bound in blood stained gowns, they almost had their heads
   A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
And oh, we all still know
   D MajorD                   E MajorE
That borrowed highs aren't worth the awful lows


Chorus:
B minorBm          D MajorD            A augmentedA
"Don't lose sight of what you were hoping to be"
       F# minorF#m  C# minorC#m
Blood stains a rosary
    B minorBm              D MajorD        A augmentedA    C# minorC#m  F# minorF#m D MajorD
And by night the choir's screaming "set that child alight."


Outro:
A augmentedA F# minorF#m D MajorD E MajorE

 A augmentedA     F# minorF#m         B minorBm
ohhhh if foreign seas prove too cruel
      E MajorE          A augmentedA
they'll be spitting from balconies
  F# minorF#m           B minorBm     E MajorE    A augmentedA
and oh the village they did cry     ????????????
