Royals by Lorde

Puddles the Clown version is down a step in C (great live version here)

Verse 1

D

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh

I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies

And I'm not proud of my address - in the torn up town

No postcode envy

Chorus

D

But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom

Blood stains, ballgowns, trashin' the hotel room

C G

We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

D

But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash

C G

We don't care - we aren't caught up in your love affair

D

And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood

C

That kind of lux just ain't for us

G

We crave a different kind of buzz

D

Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee

C

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule

G D

Let me live that fantasy

Verse 2

D

My friends and I we've cracked the code

We count our dollars on the train to the party

And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this

We didn't come from money

[Chorus]

D

But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom

Blood stains, ballgowns, trashin' the hotel room

C G

We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

D

But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece

Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash

C G

We don't care - we aren't caught up in your love affair

D

And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood

C

That kind of lux just ain't for us

Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule

We're bigger than we ever dreamed

And I'm in love with being queen (king)

Life's a game without a care

Not gonna let them catch the midnight rider (repeat both lines 2X)

D Am C G Am A5 Am A5

They've hired men with the scythes so sharp,

D Am C G Am A5 Am A5

They've rolled him and tied him by the waist,

D C G Am A5 Am A5

servin' him most barbarously.

C C/B Am

They've hired men with the sharp pitchforks,

C D E7sus E7 E7sus E7

who pricked him to the heart

Dm Am C G Am A5 Am A5

And the loader he has served him worse than that,

D C G Am A5 Am A5

And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl,

D C G Am A5 Am A5

and his brandy in the glass

D Am C G Am A5 Am A5

And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl,

proved the strongest man at last.

C C/B Am

The huntsman, he can't hunt the fox,

you really got a hold on me (you really got a hold on me )

you really got a hold on me (you really got a hold on me ) baby,

I love you and all I want you to do is just

Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me...

Tighter

Tighter

I wanna leave you, don't wanna stay here

Don't wanna spend another day here

Oh, oh, oh, I wanna spit now, I just can quit now

you really got a hold on me (you really got a hold on me )

you really got a hold on me (you really got a hold on me ) baby,

I love you and all I want you to do is just

Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me...

You really got a hold on me (you really got a hold on me )

Intro: Dm F G

Am G6 Am G6 F C G

Take me out tonight

where there's music and there's people

Driving in your car

I never never want to go home

because I haven't got one

anymore

Take me out tonight

because I want to see people and I

want to see lights

Driving in your car

oh please don't drop me home

because it's not my home, it's their

home, and I'm welcome no more

Dm F G

Chorus:

[G] C Am

And if a double-decker bus

F [F - hold it]

Am G Am G F C G

Oh well a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days

I said a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days

You know in the old days

When a young man was a strong man

All the people they'd step back

When a young man walked by

But you know nowadays

It's the old man,

He's got all the money

And a young man ain't got nothin' in the world these days

But the heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own

Dmaj7 G Dmaj7 G Dmaj7 Am G

There comes a redeemer and he slowly too fades away

[D]You don't do the [E]things that I do [D]You want to do things [E]I can't do

[D]Always something breaking [E]us in[F#] two [D][E]

[F#]You and I could [E]never live a[F#]lone[D][E]

[F#] But don't you feel like [E]breaking out Just [D]one day on your [A] own

[D]Why does what I'm[E] saying hurt you [D]I didn't say that [E]we were through

[D]Always something breaking [E]us in [F#]two

[D]They say two [E]hearts should beat as [D]one for [A]us

[D]We'll fight it [E]out to see it [F#]through

[C/A]I say that you [D]won't be too much [Am]fun for [Em]us

Though it's [C]oh so nice to get advice it's [ F#sus/B ]oh so hard to

[F#]Could we be much [E]closer if we [F#]tried [D][E]

[F#]We could stay at[E] home and stare in[D]to each other's [A]eyes

[D]Maybe we could [E]last an hour [D]Maybe then we'd [E]see right through

Ripple by The Grateful Dead

G C G C G D C G

G C

If my words did glow, with the gold of sunshine

G

And my tunes, were played, on the harp unstrung

C

Would you hear my voice, come through the music?

G D C G

Would you hold it near, as it were your own?

G C

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken

G

Perhaps they're better left unsung

C

I don't know, don't really care

G D C G

Let there be songs, to fill the air

Am D

Ripple in still water,

G C

When there is no pebble tossed,

A D

Nor wind to blow

G C

Reach out your hand, if your cup be empty

G

If your cup is full, may it be again

C

Let it be known, there is a fountain

G D C G

That was not made, by the hands of men

G C

There is a road, no simple highway

G

Between the dawn, and the dark of night

C

And if you go, no one may follow

G D C G

That path is for, your steps alone

Am D

Ripple in still water,

G C

When there is no pebble tossed,

A D

Nor wind to blow

G C

You who choose, to lead must follow

G

But if you fall, you fall alone

C

If you should stand, then who's to guide you?

G D C G

If I knew the way, I would take you home

Diamonds are Forever by Shirley Bassey

Bond version, and a nice cover, and the Arctic Monkeys doing it in F#

Intro:

The movie soundtrack version has a nice fingerpicky intro that sounds a bit like the Elephant Man theme. Can use that for the verses too:

Bm finger picking 024423 finger picking

|---2-------------[x2]-------3-----------------[x2]--|

|-----3---2---2-3--------------2---2---2---3---------|

|-------4---4--------------------4---4---------------|

|----------------------------------------------------|

|-2-----------------------2--------------------------|

|----------------------------------------------------|

Or can just a simple finger pick pattern of (like in the cover):

Bm

|------------------------------|

|------------------------------|

|-----------3-------------------|

|--------4----------------------|

|-----4-------------------------|

|--2----------------------------|

Or just strum a Bm to Em7.
