Marion the Châtelaine
DWhen the great Acollector found her 
DShe was just a Agirl 
DShe rang a chord inAside him
And he Dstole her Bmto the F#mcentre of his Emworld 
Many F#wished they could Bmbe in her Gshoes 
But she Dsurely did know Ahow to have the Dblues 
He tried to make a star of her 
She never did know why 
And though she could have told him 
There were some things that his money couldn't buy 
She never knew a way to refuse 
But she surely did know how to have the blues 
Chorus:
EmThey say toF#mmorrow's such a Glong, F#mlong Emtime 
F#mThey say toC#mmorrow never Acomes 
DWhatever Bmhappened to this Gdream F#mof mEmine 
DCount the Bmdays as they Emrun A  
He built himself a castle 
On a hill above a bay 
Where Marion the Châtelaine
Charmed every single one who came to stay 
Some never knew, while others read the clues 
That she surely did know how to have the blues 
Chorus 
When all the parties ended 
In the castle on the hill 
The paintings and the statues stood alone 
And all the corridors grew still 
She got caught between the shadows and the booze 
And she surely did know how to have the blues
