Long Live the Queen Frank Turner
Hey, I wasnt really happy with the other version, Please rate, this is my first tab.
Also, try to keep the top B and E string open when strumming,
sounds better :)

[A]
I was sipping on a Whiskey when I got the call
[F#m]
Yeah my friend Lex was lying in the hospital
[Bm]
She'd been pretty sick for about half a year
[E]
But it seems liked this time the end was drawing near
[A]
So 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] [E7]
That the weather forecast wasn't looking too good
[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] [Bm]
But she silenced all my rambling with a shake of her head
[E] [E7]
Drew me close and listen this is what she said now
[Aadd9] [F#m] [Bmadd11]
"You'll live to dance another day,
[E7]
it's just now you'll have to dance, for the two of us,
[Aadd9] [F#m] [Bmadd11]
so stop looking so damn depressed
[D]
and sing with all your heart
[E]
that the Queen is dead"
[A]
Yeah she told me she was sick of all the hospital food
[F#m]
And of doctors, distant relatives, draining her blood
[Bm]
She said "I know I'm dying, but I'm not finished just yet,
[E] [E7]
I am dying for a drink and for a cigarette"
[A]
So we hatched a plan to book ourselves a cheap hotel
[F#m]
In the centre of the City and to raise some Hell
[Bm] [Bm] [E]
Lay waste to all the clubs and then when everyone else is long asleep
[E7]
We know we're good and done
[Aadd9] [F#m] [Bmadd11]
"You'll live to dance another day,
[E7]
it's just now you'll have to dance, for the two of us,
[Aadd9] [F#m] [Bmadd11]
so stop looking so damn depressed
[D]
and sing with all your heart
[E] [D] [F#m] [E]
that the Queen is dead__________
[D] [F#m] [E]
And South London's not the same anymore
[D] [F#m] [E]
The Queen is dead,
[D] [F#m] [E]
and the last of the great has finally gone to bed
[A]
Well I was working on some words when Sarah called me up
[F#m]
She said that Lex had gone asleep and wasn't waking up
[Bm]
And even though I knew that there was nothing to be done
[E] [E7]
I felt bad for not being there and now, well, she was gone
[A]
So I tried to think what Lex would want me to do
[F#m]
At times like this when I was feeling blue
[Bm]
So I gathered up some friends to spread the sad sad news
[E] [E7]
And we headed to the City for a drink or two
And we sang
[Aadd9] [F#m] [Bmadd11]
"You'll live to dance another day,
[E7]
it's just now you'll have to dance, for the two of us,
[Aadd9] [F#m] [Bmadd11]
so stop looking so damn depressed
[D]
and sing with all your heart
[E] [D]
long live the Queen"
