I've been playing guitar for 3 months and this is my first attempt to figure out
the chords to a song. The song as it's written below comes from the Joan Baez Live
Europe '83 album. If you have any questions or suggestions, please email me at:

A7 G
Wake me with kisses in the afternoon
E Am
The butler knows any time you arrive is never too soon
D G
He knows just where you are by the sound of your car
F C E
He'll be waiting there by the spiral stair
A7 G
You could drive me crazy with your unkempt hair
E Am
You don't know what a comb is and frankly, I don't really care
D G
'Cause you're fresh and you're wild and you make the butler smile
F C
By bringing me flowers like meteor showers
D E
Treating me like a queen, though I'm only nineteen
F C
Which reminds me of something that I've recently seen
Bb F
It was a look in the eye of Lady Di
C A
As she stood on the balcony knowing the last fantasy of the century
G
Was in her long white veil
E Am
Maybe she would rather have you than the Prince of Wales
D G
And all the jewels and the crown and all the villages and towns
F C E
That line the sea of the monarchy
A7 G
And while I cut the roses, what about Lady Di?
E Am
She's a child of the 80's just like you and like I
D G
Think of all of the things that she'll never do
F C E
See a rock and roll show, get a heart-shaped tattoo
A7 G
Look at all the music that I make with you
E Am
Let's take a walk on the wild side, baby, I'm in love with you
D G
I will leave my Dior by the cabinet door
F C
And I'll leave my bouquet on the breakfast tray
F C E
Let's go for a sail just like the Prince of Wales
A7 G
And did he ever love her in the afternoon?
E Am
Was the kiss that she gave him in public just a little too soon?
Bb F
There's a tear in the eye of Lady Di
C
As she looks from the balcony knowing the last fantasy of the
A G
Century is probably a lie
E Am
My heart goes out to you, Princess, lovely Lady Di
D G
'Cause for all that it seems, here I stand in my jeans
F C
For whatever it means, it is I who am queen.
