She Bought A Hat Like Princess Marina 
Written by Ray Davies 
Intro   Harpsichord Arpeggios on C
      C                 Cdim       C
She's bought a hat like Princess Marina's 
   A                        Dm7
To wear at all her social affairs 
    E7                               Am
She wears it when she's cleaning the windows 
    D#dim                             G      Adim Bbdim G/B
She wears it when she's scrubbing the stairs 
    C              Cdim       C
But you will never see her at Ascot 
    A                            Dm7
She can't afford the time or the fare 
          F                 F#dim    C/G       A
But she's bought a hat like Princess Mari____na's

So she don't care     Bass walk-up  G A B (C)
     C                         D7
He's bought a hat like Anthony Eden's

                                     /  /
Because it makes him feel like a Lord 
       E7                        Am
But he can't afford a Rolls or a Bentley 
    D                     G     AdimBbdim
                                   ...
He has to buy a secondhand Ford 
    C                             D7
He tries to feed his wife and his family 
    G                                   E
And buy them clothes and shoes they can wear

And the kids are crying 
     A7                    D7
This poverty is hurting my pride 
G              G7       C
Buddy can you spare me, buddy can you spare me a dime 
Guitar Solo and stomp on  A7  D7  G   C x2  (hold C last time)
[Buddy can you spare me, buddy can you spare me a dime...etc]
Drum break and key change into a looney tune rendition

She's bought a hat like Princess Marina's 
        C                              F
And her neighbors think it suits her a treat 
        A7                     Dm
But she hasn't any food in the larder 
        G                   C DdimEbdimC7G
                                /  
Nor has anybody else in the street 
       F                               G
But to look at her you'd think she was wealthy 
         C                             A7
'Cos she smiles just like a real millionaire
