E7E7  020100 or 076700

   A augmentedA

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"
