Long Live The Queen

Intro:  A

         A
I was sipping on a Whiskey when I 
got the call
    F#m
Yeah my friend Lex was lying in the 
hospital
       Bm
She'd been pretty sick for about 
half a year
         E
But it seems liked this time the end
 was drawing near

      A
So dropped my plans and jumped the 
next London train
   F#m
I found her laid up and in a lot of 
pain
     Bm
Her eyes met mine and then I 
understood
            E                   
That the weather forecast wasn't 
    E7
looking too good
      A
So I sat and spun her stories for a 
little while
  F#m
Tried to raise her mood and tried to
 raise a smile
           Bm                   
But she silenced all my rambling 
         Bm
with a shake of her head
          E                     
Drew me close and listen this is 
  E7
what she said now

Refrão:
   A             F#m           Bm
"You'll live to dance another day,
                             E     
it's just now you'll have to dance,
       E7
 for the two of us,
    A          F#m       Bm
so stop looking so damn depressed
                       E
and sing with all your heart

that the Queen is dead"

          A
Yeah she told me she was sick of all
 the hospital food
        F#m
And of doctors, distant relatives, 
draining her blood
     Bm                            
She said "I know I'm dying, but I'm
     Bm
 not finished just yet,
       E                        
I am dying for a drink and for a 
  E7
cigarette"
        A
So we hatched a plan to book 
ourselves a cheap hotel
        F#m
In the centre of the City and to 
raise some Hell
       Bm                          
They waste to all the clubs and 
                 E
then when everyone else is long 
asleep
    E7
We know we're good and done

Refrão:
   A             F#m           Bm
"You'll live to dance another day,
                             E     
it's just now you'll have to dance,
       E7
 for the two of us,
    A          F#m       Bm
so stop looking so damn depressed
                       D9
and sing with all your heart
         E             D9   A
that the Queen is dead"

Bridge:

Bm                              
   And South London's not the 
D9            A                Bm
same                        anymore
               D9                 A
   The Queen is dead,
Bm                       Bm   
   and the last of the great has 
    A              E
finally gone to bed

Verso:
             A
Well I was working on some words 
when Sarah called me up
              F#m
She said that Lex had gone asleep 
and wasn't waking up
    Bm
And even though I knew that there 
was nothing to be done
        E                          
I felt bad for not being there and 
           E7
now, well, she was gone
      A
So I tried to think what Lex would 
want me to do
    F#m
At times like this when I was 
feeling blue
       Bm
So I gathered up some friends to 
spread the sad sad news
                      E        
And we headed to the City for a 
   E7
drink or two
And we sang

Refrão:
A               F#m          Bm
   "We live to dance another day,
                          E    E7
it's just now we have to dance for 
one more of us,
A                 F#m   
   so stop looking so damn 
   Bm
depressed,
                      D9
and sing with all our hearts,
E               D
long live the Queen"
