This is one of my favorite songs off the Between the Wars album. Enjoy!
Marion the Ch�telaine
D A
When the great collector found her
D A
She was just a girl
D A
She rang a chord inside him
D Bm F#m Em
And he stole her to the centre of his world
F# Bm G
Many wished they could be in her shoes
D A D
But she surely did know how to have the blues
He tried to make a star of her
She never did know why
And though she could have told him
There were some things that his money couldn't buy
She never knew a way to refuse
But she surely did know how to have the blues
Chorus:
Em F#m G F#m Em
They say tomorrow's such a long, long time
F#m C#m A
They say tomorrow never comes
D Bm G F#m Em
Whatever happened to this dream of mine
D Bm Em A
Count the days as they run
He built himself a castle
On a hill above a bay
Where Marion the Ch�telaine
Charmed every single one who came to stay
Some never knew, while others read the clues
That she surely did know how to have the blues
Chorus
When all the parties ended
In the castle on the hill
The paintings and the statues stood alone
And all the corridors grew still
She got caught between the shadows and the booze
And she surely did know how to have the blues
