[Verse 1]

Down [G]the road in the flesh

A certain gen[C]tleness can

you [Am]believing
As she whispers [C]softly in your ear

[Bm]
On [G]the pavement in

The lace of your [C]em pire
coming [D]down[Bm]
Street prin[G]cess on
a throne [Bm]of cream
High [G]priestess of the multitude

Look how he [C]hovers over you

The men will [G]come from

[Em]The pretty rich boys from

All would have you gladly on
your knees
[D]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]
Some would [G]sneer as they pass you by

Curse the very [G]ground you magni[Am]fy
Some would run their fin
[C]gers through your hair
