Frank Turner - Long live the queen

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

So dro^Apped my plans and jumped the next London train I f^F#mound her laid up and in a lot of pain Her e^Bmyes met mine and then I understood That the wea^Ether forecast wasn't loo^E7king too good So I s^Aat and spun her stories for a little while Tr^F#mied to raise her mood and tried to raise a smile But she sil^Bmenced all my rambling with a s^Bmhake of her head Drew me cl^Eose and listen this is w^E7hat she said now

^Aadd9"You'll live^F#m to dance another^Bmadd11 day, it's just now you'll have to ^E7dance, for the two of us, ^Aadd9so stop looking s^F#mo damn depressed ^Bmadd11 and sing with all your ^Dheart that the Qu^Eeen is dead"

Yeah she t^Aold me she was sick of all the hospital food And of d^F#moctors, distant relatives, draining her blood She s^Bmaid "I know I'm dying, but I'm not finished just yet, I am dy^Eing for a drink and for a c^E7igarette" So we ha^Atched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotel In the c^F#mentre of the City and to raise some Hell Lay was^Bmte to all the clubs and th^Bmen when everyone el^Ese is long asleep We k^E7now we're good and done

^Aadd9"You'll live^F#m to dance another^Bmadd11 day, it's just now you'll have to ^E7dance, for the two of us, ^Aadd9so stop looking s^F#mo damn depressed ^Bmadd11 and sing with all your ^Dheart that the Qu^Eeen is dead_^D_________^{F#m E}

And South Londo^Dn's not the s^F#mame anymore ^E The Queen is dea^Dd, ^{F#m E} and the last^D of the g^F#mreat has finally gone to bed^E

Well I was wo^Arking on some words when Sarah called me up She said that ^F#mLex had gone asleep and wasn't waking up And ^Bmeven though I knew that there was nothing to be done I felt b^Ead for not being there and now, well, ^E7she was gone So I t^Aried to think what Lex would want me to do At t^F#mimes like this when I was feeling blue So I ga^Bmthered up some friends to spread the sad sad news And we headed to the C^Eity for a dr^E7ink or two

^Aadd9"You'll live^F#m to dance another^Bmadd11 day, it's just now you'll have to ^E7dance, for the two of us, ^Aadd9so stop looking s^F#mo damn depressed ^Bmadd11 and sing with all your ^Dheart l^Eong live the Qu^Deen"
