CAPO: 3rd Fret
[INTRO]
[Am] [G] [F] [Am]
[VERSE 1]
Hey mister, can you lend me a dollar?
I'm not like the rest of these bums [G]
I just need it to tide me over till the [F]mayor comes [Am]
He promised me that he'd give me my house back
We just got off of the phone [G]
[PRE-CHORUS]
Don't walk away, I can tell your future
[G]Don't walk away, don't you know you're talking to
[CHORUS]
The [C]queen, the queen of the [G]night
I was the [C]queen, the queen of the [G]night
Every[Bb]body knew my name, everybody knew my face
[A]Everybody treated me like I [G]owned the place
I was the [Eb]mistress of the [F]moon[Ab]light
The [Bb]queen [C]of the night
[VERSE 2]
[Am]When I was a girl, I met the Prince of Wales
On a yacht in New York harbour
He [G]told me I was pretty and I danced with him, he was a [F]gentleman [Am]
He kissed my hand and gave me a dollar
Mister, can you make it two? [G]
[PRE-CHORUS]
Hey, don't walk away, I can tell your future
[G]Don't walk away, don't you know you're talking to
[CHORUS]
The [C]queen, the queen of the [G]night
I was the [C]queen, the queen of the [G]night
Every[Bb]body knew my name, everybody knew my face
[A]Everybody treated me like I [G]owned the place
I was the [Eb]mistress of the [F]moon[Ab]light
The [Bb]queen [C]of the night
[BRIDGE]
I like [B7]your lavender limou[E7]sine
I have a [F]car just like that
[B7]My driver cracked it [E7]up last night
I think he [F]drinks, you know
But I just can't let him go
He'd [Em]drive through a wall of fire for me
[Dm]Sometimes he treats me mean
He for[C]gets that I'm the queen
Ye[F]ah, I sure like that limousine, mister
[PRE-CHORUS]
[G]Don't walk away, I can tell your future
Don't walk away, don't you know you're talking to
[CHORUS]
The [C]queen, the queen of the [G]night
I was the [C]queen, the queen of the [G]night
I can [Bb]see your future, mister, I can see it in your face
I'll be [A]riding in that limo, you'll be [G]standing in my place
You know,[Eb] it's different [F]in the moon[Ab]light
With the [Bb]queen of the [C]night
[Outro] (fade to end)
I was the [C]queen, the queen of the [G]night
I was the [C]queen, the queen of the [G]night
[A]I was the mistress of the moonlight
The queen of the [G]night
I was the [C]queen, the queen of the [G]night
I was the [F]mistress of the moon[G]light
I was the [C]queen, the queen of the [G]night
