Key:
Intro: A (Strum twice then mute and strum) X4 Verse: (Same strumming pattern)
A I was sipping on the whiskey when I got the call yeah,
F#m My friend Lex was lying in a hospital,
Bm She'd been pretty sick for about half the year,
E But it seemed that this time the end was drawing near.
A So I 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.
Continues after the ad
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 ramblings with a shake of her head,
E Drew me close and listen this is
E7 what she said now. Chorus:
A F#m Bm You'll live to dance another day,
E But now you'll have to dance,
E7 A For the two of us,
A F#m Bm So stop looking so damn depressed,
E And sing with all your heart, The Queen is dead yeah. Verse chords same as before: Chorus chords as before except for ending:
A F#m Bm So stop looking so damn depressed, And sing with all your heart,
E The Queen is dead.
Bm E And South London's not the same,
Bm anymore
E Bm The Queen is dead, yes!
E And the last of the greats,
Bm Has finally gone to bed.
