Long Live the Queen Frank Turner
You need to listen to the song for chord rhythms reeeeeally.
A(muted strums)A(muted strums)A(muted strums)A(muted strums)
Continue the muted strum technique in the verses.
I was sip[A]ping on a Whiskey when I got the call
Yeah[F#m] my friend Lex was lying in the hospital
She'd b[Bm]een pretty sick for about half a year
But it se[E]ems liked this time the end was drawing near
So dro[A]pped my plans and jumped the next London train
I f[F#m]ound her laid up and in a lot of pain
Her e[Bm]yes met mine and then I understood
That the wea[E]ther forecast wasn't loo[E7]king too good
So I s[A]at and spun her stories for a little while
Tr[F#m]ied to raise her mood and tried to raise a smile
But she sil[Bm]enced all my rambling with a s[Bm]hake of her head
Drew me cl[E]ose and listen this is w[E7]hat she said now
"Yo[A]u'll live to d[F#m]ance another day,
it's just [Bm]now you'll have to da[E]nce, for the [E7]two of us,
so s[A]top looking[F#m] so damn depressed
and s[Bm]ing with all your heart
that the Qu[E]een is dead"
Yeah she t[A]old me she was sick of all the hospital food
And of d[F#m]octors, distant relatives, draining her blood
She s[Bm]aid "I know I'm dying, but I'm not finished just yet,
I am dy[E]ing for a drink and for a c[E7]igarette"
So we ha[A]tched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotel
In the c[F#m]entre of the City and to raise some Hell
They wa[Bm]ste to all the clubs and t[Bm]hen when everyone e[E]lse is long asleep
We k[E7]now we're good and done
"Yo[A]u'll live to d[F#m]ance another day,
it's just [Bm]now you'll have to da[E]nce, for the [E7]two of us,
so s[A]top looking[F#m] so damn depressed
and s[Bm]ing with all your heart
that the Qu[E]een is d[Bm]ead"
[E] And South London's not the s[Bm]ame anymore
[E] The Queen is [Bm]dead,
[E] and the last of the g[Bm]reat has finally gone to b[E]ed
Well I was wo[A]rking on some words when Sarah called me up
She said that [F#m]Lex had gone asleep and wasn't waking up
And [Bm]even though I knew that there was nothing to be done
I felt b[E]ad for not being there and now, well, [E7]she was gone
So I t[A]ried to think what Lex would want me to do
At t[F#m]imes like this when I was feeling blue
So I ga[Bm]thered up some friends to spread the sad sad news
And we headed to the C[E]ity for a dr[E7]ink or two
And we sang
[A] "We live to d[F#m]ance another day,
it's just [Bm]now we have to d[E]ance [E7]for one more of us,
[A] so stop looking[F#m] so damn depressed,
and s[Bm]ing with all our hearts,
l[E]ong live the Qu[F#]een"
