Tom: G
G D G C
Death valley queen where have you been
G Em
Since they crowned you in glory
G D
Filled your head with dreams
G D G
But it still goes to show in every desert
C G D G
There's a rose that's blooming for all to be seen
D G
I remember you well from that town
C G Em
You did dwell with the face of an angel
G D
In a dump hot as hell
G D
When I asked for a kiss
G C
You kindly dismissed
G D G
So i lead my poor heart to the slaughter
D G C D
Tell me dear what did you fear
G C D
I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin
G C G C
So death valley queen go marry your king
G D G
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain
[Verse 2]
G D G C
Off I did set on my trail of regret
G Em G D
Where I thought of you now in your castle and crown
G D G C
So I found me a whore with a face just like yours
G D G
After several gallons of porter
D G C
When I awoke, she had scarpered I was broke
G Em G D
Laying cold in the bed with a whale for a head
G C G C
So death valley queen go marry your king
G D G
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain
[Chorus]
D G C G D
Then the ball dropped why everything fell by the way
D G C D
As your teardrops were falling I forgot to say
G D G
That I have always loved you
G C G
Yeah I have always loved you
G D G C
Yeah I
G
Yeah I
C
I have always loved you
[Verse 3]
G D G C
When I returned downtrodden and burned
G Em
There were billy goats grazing
G D
Where once you'd be found
G D
So I hung out to dry
G C
On this limb for a lie
G D G
Take me back for I'm cursed on the mainland
D G C D
Tell me dear what did you fear
G C D
I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin
G C G C
So death valley queen go marry your king
G D G
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain
G C G C
I said death valley queen go marry your king
G D G
And a-roving I'll end up for certain
