"Chelsea Monday"
by Marillion
DABGm
Dm Am
Catalogue princess, apprentice seductress
Bb Gm
hiding in her cellophane world in glitter town.
Dm Am
Awaiting the prince in het white Capri
Bb Gm
dynamic young tarzan courts the bedsit queen.
Dm Am
She's playing the actress in this bedroom scene,
Bb Gm
she's learning her lines from glossy magazines.
Dm Am
Stringing all her pearls from her childhood dreams,
Bb Gm
auditioning for the leading role on the silver screen.
Dm Am
Patience my tinsel angel.
Bb Gm
Patience my perfumed child.
Dm Am
One day they'll really love you.
Bb Gm
You will charm them with that smile.
Dm ABGm
But for now
Dm ABGm
It's just another Chelsea Monday
Em DCAm
Chelsea Monday! .
EDCAm
(solo part:) (lots of times)
DABGm
Dm Am
Drifting with her incense in the
Bb Gm
labyrinth of London.
Dm Am
Playing games with faces in the
Bb Gm
neon wonderland .
Dm Am
Perform to scattered shadows on the
Bb Gm
shattered cobbled aisles.
Dm Am
Would she dare recite soliloquies at the
Bb Gm
risk of stark applause?
EDCAm
Em DCAm
To Chelsea Monday.
Em D
She'll pray for endless Sundays,
C Am
as she enters saffron sunsets.
Em D
Conjure phantom lovers from the
C Am
tattered shreds of dawn.
Em D
Fulfilled and yet forgotten
C Am
the St Tropez mirage.
Em D
Fragrant aphrodisiac,
C Am
the withered tuberose.
