The Queen Is Dead The Smiths
Farewell [B]to this land's cheerless marches
hemmed in like a boar between arches
her very Lowness with her head in a sling
I'm truly sorry but it soun[D]ds like a wonderful th[E]ing
[B]I say Charles don't you ever crave
to appear on the front of the Daily Mail
[D]dressed in your Mother's b[E]ridal veil? [G] [A] [G#m] [G]
And so I [B]checked all the registered historical facts
and I was shocked into shame to discover
how I'm the 18th pale descendent
of some old[D] queen or ot[E]her
Oh h[B]as the world changed, or have I changed?
oh has the world changed, or have I changed?
some nine year old tough who peddles drugs
I swear to God, I swear I n[D]ever even knew what drugs wer[E]e [G] [A] [G#m] [G]
So I [B]broke into the Palace
with a sponge and a rusty spanner
she said: "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
I said: "that's nothing - you should h[D]ear me play[E] piano"
We ca[B]n go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
but when you are tied to your mother's apron
no-one ta[D]lks about castr[E]ation [G] [A] [G#m] [G]
We [B]can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
like love and law and poverty
t[D]hese are the things tha[E]t kill me
(same as above)
We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
and talk about precious things
but the rain that flattens my hair
these are the things that kill me
Passed the p[B]ub that saps your body
and the church who'll snatch your money
the Queen is [D]dead, boys
and it's so [E]lonely on a limb
Pass the pub that wrecks your body
and the church, all they want is your money
the Queen is dead, boys
and it's so lonely on a limb
[B]Life is very long[D], when you're l[E]onely
life is very long, when you're lonely
life is very long, when you're lonely
life is very long, when you're lonely
