verse 1
C F
Queen of the castle, but she wears no crown,
C G
Stones of silver, gilded gown.
Am G Fm
Can anybody help her hang this mirror?
Am G F
So she can see every change.
Am G Fm
The view of another was never clearer,
Am G F G
The view of a self is strange.
verse 2
C F
Oh, she'll rule south in someone else's car,
C G
Armed with a dream and a DSLR.
Am G Fm
I wonder if she fears the city,
Am G F
Or will she translate with ease?
Am G Fm
I wonder if she's ever been viewed with pity,
Am G F G
Even in boots like these.
verse 3
C F
She did a year in Manchester,
C G
And it rained every other day.

The Balkan half of her gave it heart,
F G
The Latin half gave way.

F Fm
They tried to get her on to Joy Division,
Am G Fm
She said she liked the feel, but it lacked precision.

She soon got bored, and took the decision,

To listen to James instead.
verse 4
C F
I think she thinks it helps her cleanse,
C G
Seeing stones through a radio lense.
Am G Fm
I don't ever know half the story,
Am G F
But it doesn't leave me flat.
Am G Fm
I know she smiled when she first saw me,
Am G F G
I think I can live with that.
Verse 5
C F
Oh, she greeted me at the fortress,
C G
With a smile and an open palm.
Am G Fm
A song as old as the stones around me,
F G
With easily twice the charm.
Verse 6
C F
Her right-hand man took his lense cap,
C G
Slipped it in his fitted jeans,

Said the light was perfect,
F G
And immortalised the scene.
