Verse:
(Same strumming pattern)
A
I was sipping on the whiskey when I got the call yeah,

F#m
My friend Lex was lying in a hospital,

Bm
She'd been pretty sick for about half the year,

E                                                    
But it seemed that this time the end was drawing near.

A
So I 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
But she silenced all my ramblings with a shake of her head,

E                                E7              
Drew me close and listen this is what she said now.

Chorus:
A             F#m              Bm   
You'll live to dance another day,

                       E      
But now you'll have to dance,

E7                 A
For the two of us,

A              F#m             Bm   
So stop looking so damn depressed,

                       E      
And sing with all your heart,

                        
The Queen is dead yeah.
