Aristocrat

[First Part]

       Bm             G
  In the palace of Versailles, 
before the fall
D         A
  We were wild, we were so debauched
Bm           G
  Extravagance was practically a law
      D              A
  If we ever got bored, we'd say 
"Let's throw a ball"

     Bm         G           D     
  You'd chase me naked through the 
A
palace garden
        Bm      G              D 
  Before we dove into a sparkling
     A
 champagne fountain
  Bm           G            D     
  Eating cake with a little golden 
A
butter
    Bm              G             
  They never even knew that I got 
D    A
here from the gutter

[Pre-Chorus]

       Bm           G       D    A
  'Cause I dance like an aristocrat
        Bm            G           
  Hold your head up high, yeah, 
D     A
just like that
  Bm         G       D    A
  Show me that you understand
        Bm             G         
  Come on and do it like only a 
D    A
poor kid can

[Chorus]

  Bm   G  D    A
  Oh,    a - ristocrat
  Bm   G  D          A
  Oh,    dance like an aristocrat
Continues after the ad
  Bm   G  D    A
  Oh,    a - ristocrat
  Bm   G  D          A
  Oh,    dance like an aristocrat

[Second Part]

       Bm
  In the middle of the night
    G
  The ladies of the court
    D                A
  Would catfight tryna be the king's
 consort
Bm          G
  I'm sorry B, he's hot for me
D        A
  La Comtesse, du Poverty

  Bm            G        D       
  Me and Marie dressed head to toe 
A
in diamonds
       Bm       G            D   
  With an orchestra to drown out 
     A
all the violence
       Bm           G     
  And the gossip cut like a 
      D    A
handcrafted stiletto
        Bm                G       
  But they never figured out that 
      D     A
I got here from the ghetto

[Pre-Chorus]

       Bm           G       D    A
  'Cause I dance like an aristocrat
        Bm            G           
  Hold your head up high, yeah, 
D     A
just like that
  Bm         G       D    A
  Show me that you understand
        Bm             G         
  Come on and do it like only a 
D    A
poor kid can

[Chorus]

  Bm   G  D    A
  Oh,    a - ristocrat
  Bm   G  D          A
  Oh,    dance like an aristocrat
  Bm   G  D    A

  Bm   G  D          A
  Oh,    dance like an aristocrat

[Bridge]

  Bm            G D A
  Out of the fire
  Bm            G D A
  Out of the fire
Bm       G      D       A
  Courante, Bourrée, Allemande, if 
you want
Bm       G      D       A
  Courante, Bourrée, Allemande, if 
you want

[Chorus]

  Bm   G  D    A
