Cleopatra

[Intro] G

[Primera Parte]

G
I was Cleopatra, I was young and an 
actress
When you knelt by my mattress, and 
             D
asked for my hand
G
But I was sad you asked it, as I 
laid in a black dress
With my father in a casket, I had no
   D       G
 plans


[Segunda Parte]

G                               C
And I left the footprints, the 
                     G
mud stained on the carpet
And it hardened like my heart did 
               D
when you left town
G                                 
But I must admit it, that I would 
  C                  G
marry you in an instant
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress
                       D
 just to have you around

            G         D      C   
But I was late for this, late for
   G     C          G           D
 that, late for the love of my life
            G    D          C   
And when I die alone, when I die
G      C          G           D
 alone, when I die I'll be on time

[Tercera Parte]

G                                 
While the church discouraged, any 
C                       G
lust that burned within me
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, 
              D
but I held true
G                           C    
So I drive a taxi, and the 
             G
traffic distracts me
             C                G   
From the strangers in my backseat,
                     D
 they remind me of you

            G         D      C   
But I was late for this, late for
   G     C          G           D
 that, late for the love of my life
            G    D          C   
And when I die alone, when I die
G      C          G           D
 alone, when I die I'll be on time


Bridge
         Em                 G     
And the only gifts from my Lord 
   C        D      Em
were a birth and a divorce
          G                      
But I've read this script and the
Em            C          D      
 costume fits, so I'll play my 
    G
part


[Cuarta Parte]

G                       C        
I was Cleopatra, I was taller 
        G
than the rafters
But that's all in the past now, gone
             D
 with the wind
G                                 
Now a nurse in white shoes leads 
   C          G
me back to my guestroom
        C          G
It's a bed and a bathroom
                      D
And a place for the end


[Estribillo]
            G         D      C   
I won't be late for this, late 
   G     C          G           
for that, late for the love of my 
D
life
            G    D          C   
And when I die alone, when I die
G      C          G           D    G
 alone, when I die I'll be on time
