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
(refrão)
A F#m Bm
"You'll live to dance another day,
E E7
it's just now you'll have to dance, for the two of us,
A F#m Bm
so stop looking so damn depressed
E
and sing with all your heart
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 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 E
They waste to all the clubs and then when everyone else is long asleep
E7
We know we're good and done
(refrão)
A F#m Bm
"You'll live to dance another day,
E E7
it's just now you'll have to dance, for the two of us,
A F#m Bm
so stop looking so damn depressed
E
and sing with all your heart
Bm A
that the Queen is dead"
(bridge)
E Bm A E
And South London's not the same anymore
Bm A
The Queen is dead,
E Bm A E
and the last of the great has finally gone to bed
(verso lento)
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
(refrão lento)
A F#m Bm
"We live to dance another day,
E E7
it's just now we have to dance for one more of us,
A F#m Bm
so stop looking so damn depressed,
E
and sing with all our hearts,
A
long live the Queen"
