Am G F G
[Verse 1]
C F
Queen of the castle, but she wears no crown,
C G
Stones of silver, gilded gown.
Am G Am/F#
Can anybody help her hang this mirror?
Am G F
So she can see every change.
Am G Am/F#
The view of another was never clearer,
Am G F G
The view of a self is strange.
[Verse 2]
C F
Oh, she'll rule south in someone else's car,
C G
Armed with a dream and a DSLR.
Am G Am/F#
I wonder if she fears the city,
Am G F
Or will she translate with ease?
Am G Am/F#
I wonder if she's ever been viewed with pity,
Am G F G
Even in boots like these.
[Verse 3]
C F
She did a year in Manchester,
C G
And it rained every other day.
Am G Am/F#
The Balkan half of her gave it heart,
F G
The Latin half gave way.
[Bridge]
F Am/F#
They tried to get her on to Joy Division,
Am G Am/F#
She said she liked the feel, but it lacked precision.
F Am/F#
She soon got bored, and took the decision,
G
To listen to James instead.
[Verse 4]
C F
I think she thinks it helps her cleanse,
C G
Seeing stones through a radio lense.
Am G Am/F#
I don't ever know half the story,
Am G F
But it doesn't leave me flat.
Am G Am/F#
I know she smiled when #e first saw me,
Am G F G
I think I can live with that.
[Verse 5]
C F
Oh, she greeted me at the fortress,
C G
With a smile and an open palm.
Am G Am/F#
A song as old as the stones around me,
F G
With easily twice the charm.
[Verse 6]
C F
Her right-hand man took his lense cap,
C G
Slipped it in his fitted jeans,
Am G Am/F#
Said the light was perfect,
F G
And immortalised the scene.
[Outro]
C F C G
Ooooooooooooooooooooh,
Am G Am/F#
Ooooh, ooooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Am G F
Ooooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh.
Am G Am/F#
Ooooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Am G F
Ooooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh.
