     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
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/frank_turner/long_live_the_queen_crd_ver_2.html ]
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"
