Marion the Châtelaine Al Stewart
This is one of my favorite songs off the Between the Wars album. Enjoy!
Marion the Châtelaine
[D]When the great [A]collector found her
[D]She was just a [A]girl
[D]She rang a chord in[A]side him
And he [D]stole her [Bm]to the [F#m]centre of his [Em]world
Many [F#]wished they could [Bm]be in her [G]shoes
But she [D]surely did know [A]how to have the [D]blues
He tried to make a star of her
She never did know why
And though she could have told him
There were some things that his money couldn't buy
She never knew a way to refuse
But she surely did know how to have the blues
Chorus:
[Em]They say to[F#m]morrow's such a [G]long, [F#m]long [Em]time
[F#m]They say to[C#m]morrow never [A]comes
[D]Whatever [Bm]happened to this [G]dream [F#m]of m[Em]ine
[D]Count the [Bm]days as they [Em]run [A]
He built himself a castle
On a hill above a bay
Where Marion the Châtelaine
Charmed every single one who came to stay
Some never knew, while others read the clues
That she surely did know how to have the blues
Chorus
When all the parties ended
In the castle on the hill
The paintings and the statues stood alone
And all the corridors grew still
She got caught between the shadows and the booze
And she surely did know how to have the blues
