********************* Marion The Chatelaine (Al Stewart) ********************* Here's my interpretation, but some chords can be changed without disturbing the song. It's up to you. Em7 A9 When the great collector found her Em7 A9 She was just a girl Em7 A9 She rang a chord inside him D A6/C# Bm D/A G And he stole her to the center of his world Gm D A/C# Bm Bm/A Many wished they could be in her shoes G A D But she surely did know how to have the blues Em7 A9 He tried to make a star of her Em7 A9 She never did know why Em7 A9 And though she could have told him D A6/C# Bm D/A G There were some things that his money couldn't buy Gm D A/C# Bm Bm/A She never knew a way to refuse G A D But she surely did know how to have the blues Em B7 Em B7/F# Em They say tomorrow's such a long, long time F#m C#7 F#m They say tomorrow never comes D7 G Bm/F# Em Whatever happend to this dream of mine D F#m Gm6 A Count the days as they run Em7 A9 Em7 A9 He built himself a castle on a hill above a bay Em7 A9 D A6/C# Bm Where Marion the Chatelaine charmed every single one D/A G Who came to stay Gm D A/C# Bm Bm/A Some never knew, while others read the clues G A D That she surely did know how to have the blues (instrumental based on a verse) Em B7 Em B7/F# Em They say tomorrow's such a long, long time F#m C#7 F#m They say tomorrow never comes D7 G Bm/F# Em7 Whatever happend to this dream of mine D F#m Gm6 A Count the days as they run Em7 A9 When all the parties ended Em7 A9 In the castle on the hill Em7 A9 D The paintings and the statues stood alone A6/C# Bm D/A G And all the corridors grew still Gm D A/C# Bm She got caught between the shadows and the booze G A Bb C Bb C D And she surely did know how to have the blues (outro based on what you already know...)
