[Verse 1]
Dm                 G
When the great collector found her
Dm              G
She was just a girl
    Dm              G
She rang a chord inside him
        C        Am/B   Am     Am/G      F
And he stole her to the center of his world
     Fm                C  Am/B   Am     Am/G
Many wished they could be in her shoes
         F              G               C
But she surely did know how to have the blues
 
[Verse 2]
   Dm              G
He tried to make a star of her
Dm                 G
She never did know why
Dm                        G
And though she could have told him
            C          Am/B     Am     Am/G       F
There were some things that his money couldn't buy
    Fm           C   Am/B   Am   Am/G
She never knew a way to  refuse
         F              G               C
But she surely did know how to have the blues
 
[Bridge]
Dm          A7             Dm    A7     Dm
They say tomorrow's such a long, long   time
Em         B7            Em
They say tomorrow never comes
C         C7              F    Am/E   Dm
Whatever happened to this dream of     mine
C          Em          Fm  G
Count the days as they run
 
[Verse 3]
Dm                  G          Dm           G
He built himself a castle on a hill above a bay
      Dm          G                 C      Am/B   Am
Where Marion the Chatelaine charmed every single one
     Am/G      F
Who came to stay
     Fm                C      Am/B     Am     Am/G
Some never knew, while others read the clues
          F              G                C
That she surely did know how to have the blues

Whatever happend to this dream of     mine

Count the days as they run
 
[Verse 4]
Dm                   G
When all the parties ended
        Dm           G
In the castle on the hill
    Dm                 G             C
The paintings and the statues stood alone
    Am/B    Am   Am/G        F
And all the corridors grew still
        Fm                  C      Am/B    Am   Am/G
She got caught between the shadows and the booze
         F              G                Ab     Bb    Ab    Bb     C
And she surely did know how to have the blues
