                              [ch]E[/ch]\r\nI'd like you to meet my last queen,[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]F#[/ch]            [ch]B[/ch]\r\nOver there large as life,[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]E[/ch]                [ch]A[/ch]\r\nShe's been hanging there for almost a week,[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]F#[/ch]        [ch]B[/ch]\r\nMy poor late wife,[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]  [ch]E[/ch]\r\nWhat do think of the colour of her skin,[/tab]\r\n[tab]                       [ch]A[/ch]\r\nIt has the bloom of a rose,[/tab]\r\n[tab]             [ch]E[/ch] \r\nYou see she begged me to bring a certain painter in,[/tab]\r\n[tab]              [ch]F#[/ch]                               [ch]B[/ch]\r\nAnd for that picture in her bedroom she would pose,[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]      [ch]A[/ch]\r\n Well after a while he was driving me mad,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch]\r\n As you could well understand,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]F#[/ch]\r\n Sitting in there, day after day,[/tab]\r\n[tab]          [ch]B[/ch]\r\n With my wife in the palm of his hand, [/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]         [ch]E[/ch]\r\nIt was \"Madam please do this and Madam please do that\",[/tab]\r\n[tab]                             [ch]B[/ch]\r\nYou've never heard such display,[/tab]\r\n\r\nBut he didn't mind he was taking his time,\r\n[tab]        [ch]C[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]      [ch]E[/ch]  [ch]B[/ch]\r\nIt was me that had to pay,[/tab]\r\n[tab]

kind when they,\r\n[tab]      [ch]C[/ch]           [ch]D[/ch]             [ch]E[/ch]\r\nCame back in the middle of the night,[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]C[/ch]              [ch]D[/ch]           [ch]E[/ch]      [ch]A[/ch]        [ch]E[/ch]      [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd I swear I'll take care of the painter, oh the painter,[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch] \r\n Well as you can see it was hard for me,[/tab]\r\n[tab]                         [ch]A[/ch]\r\nBut something has to be done,[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]E[/ch]                                               [ch]F#[/ch]\r\nShe only has eyes for him and his lies, and as for me,[/tab]\r\n[tab]                           [ch]B[/ch]\r\nNot a glance, not a single one,[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]A[/ch]\r\nMy orders were severe and she disappeared,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch]\r\n It really was such a shame,[/tab]\r\n[tab]               [ch]F#[/ch] \r\nAnd when they told me she was dead I broke down and said,[/tab]\r\n[tab]
