Verse                              
N.C.                    G         G/B Csus2 G 
How I hate the Queen of Pentacles 
                     Am      Asus2  Am  Asus2 
Sitting on her golden throne 
                C        F 
In her domestic tyranny 
                            G     G/B Csus2 G 
All roads lead back to her alone 

verse 2 
N.C.                                G     G/B Csus2 G 
The whole wide world is a great big drain 
                     Am   Asus2  Am 
And the vortex is her heart 
    Asus2 
Her moods and wants and 
C                 F 
Wishes and whims 
                            G      G/B Csus2 G 
All take precedence on this chart 

N.C. 
But what do I know 
              C         D         B7  
My card’s the fool, the fool, the fool 
                    C 
That merry rootless man, 
                    Am 
With air beneath my footstep 
                    F 
And providence as my plan 
               G      G/B Csus2 G 
Providence as my plan 

verse 3 
N.C.                   G          G/B Csus2 G 
Oh it’s such expensive innocence 
                  Am   Asus2  Am 
Never knowing any cost 
    Asus2             C       F 
She throws around her finery 
                            G     G/B Csus2 G 
For us to fetch when it gets lost
