Verse:
Bm G
In the palace of Versailles before the fall
D A
We were wild we were so debauched
Bm G
Extravagance was practically a law
D A
If we ever got bored we'd say Let's throw a ball
Bm G D A
You'd chase me naked through the palace garden
Bm G D A
Before we dove into a sparkling champagne fountain
Bm G D A
Eating cake with a little golden butter
Bm G D A
They never even knew that I got here from the gutter
Pre-Chorus:
Bm G D A
Cause I dance like an aristocrat
Bm G D A
Hold your head up high yeah just like that
Bm G D A
Show me that you understand
Bm G D A
Come on and do it like only a poor kid can
Chorus:
Bm G D A
Oh a - ristocrat
Bm G D A
Oh dance like an aristocrat
Bm G D A
Oh a - ristocrat
Bm G D A
Oh dance like an aristocrat
Verse:
Bm
In the middle of the night
G
The ladies of the court
D A
Would catfight tryna be the king's consort
Bm G
I'm sorry B he's hot for me
D A
La Comtesse du Poverty
Bm G D A
Me and Marie dressed head to toe in diamonds
Bm G D A
With an orchestra to drown out all the violence
Bm G D A
And the gossip cut like a handcrafted stiletto
Bm G D A
But they never figured out that I got here from the ghetto
Pre-Chorus:
Bm G D A
Cause I dance like an aristocrat
Bm G D A
Hold your head up high yeah just like that
Bm G D A
Show me that you understand
Bm G D A
Come on and do it like only a poor kid can
Chorus:
Bm G D A
Oh a - ristocrat
Bm G D A
Oh dance like an aristocrat
Bm G D A
Oh a - ristocrat
Bm G D A
Oh dance like an aristocrat
Bridge:
Bm G D A
Out of the fire
Bm G D A
Out of the fire
Bm G D A
Courante Bourrée Allemande if you want
Bm G D A
Courante Bourrée Allemande if you want
Chorus:
Bm G D A
Oh a - ristocrat
Bm G D A
Oh dance like an aristocrat
Bm G D A
Oh a - ristocrat
Bm G D A
Oh dance like an aristocrat
