C C 
 
G G 
 
Gsus2 Gsus2 
 
G G 
 
It's at times such

as this she'd be tempted to spit
G G 
 
If she wasn't so ladylike
C C 
 
She imagines how she might
D D 
 
have lived back when
Em Em 
 
Am Am 
 
Bm Bm 
 
Legends and history col lide
C C 
 
D D

So she looks to her prince,

He's so charmingly slumped

Bdim Bdim 
 
at her side
G G 
 
C C 
 
Those days are recalled
Bm Bm 
 
Em Em 
 
on the gallery wall
Am Am 
 
Bm Bm 
 
And she's waiting for pas sion
C C 
 
D D 
 
or humor to strike
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
What shall we do, what shall we do
Am Am 
 
With all this useless beauty,
C C 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
all this useless beauty

Verse 2
Good Friday arrived,
Em Em 
 
the sky darkened on time
G G 
 
Till he almost began to negotiate
C C 
 
And she held his head like
Bm Bm 
 
Em Em 
 
a baby and said
Am Am 
 
Bm Bm 
 
C C 
 
"It's okay if you cry"
D D 
 
G G 
 
Now he wants her to dress,
Em Em 
 
as if you couldn't guess
G G 
 
He de sires to impress his
associated
C C 
 
But he's part ugly beast and

Hellenic deceased

Verse 4
F F 
 
She won't practice the looks from
C C 
 
the great tragic books
Am Am 
 
That were later
defaced disgraced celluloid
C C 
 
F F 
 
They no longer make sense,
C C 
 
Am Am 
 
but you can bet
F F 
 
If she isn't a sweetheart,
Em Em 
 
Am Am 
 
a plaything or pet
Bm Bm 
 
The film turns her into
C C 
 
D D 
 
an unveiled threat
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Nonsense prevails, modesty fails
G G 
 
Grace and virtue turn into stupidity
C C 
 
While the calendar fades
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
almost  all barricades
Am Am 
 
Bm Bm 
 
C C 
 
To a pale compromise
D D 
 
G G 
 
While our rulers have feasts on
Em Em 
 
the backsides of beasts
G G 
 
They still think they're the gods of antiquity
C C 
 
Bm Bm 
 
Em Em 
 
If something you missed didn't even exist
Am Am 
 
Bm Bm 
 
It was just an ideal, is that
C C 
 
D D 
 
such a surprise?
