Nature Is Queen Chords

Nature is Queen ©.
composed by Nadav Beck 1976 ©
(d. 17 Sep 1960 - 27 Dec 1976)
 
As performed by Guy Sebastian.
 
 
Nadav Beck was a creative young man and was writing songs his whole life,
and possessed an uncommon mature philosophical & spiritual outlook on life.
Tragically, he died from the complications of Asthma at the age of 16,
and left a collection of meaningful songs.
 
His story was featured on an Australian Television show called "The Recording Studio".
The full episode is available on ABC iView, and the song is also available for purchase
on all the popular online distribution services.
 
The singer Guy Sebastian was chosen to perform the vocals which are demanding
in the overall range of the song.
 
The song as shown here is in the key that Guy Sebastian sings it in,
but for myself, I sing in the Baritone range so I find it best to put a capo on 3
and use the chords as shown below. Alternatively, you can change the key to "D" by using the
'transpose' feature at the bottom of the page, to raise it up by 5 semitones and play without a capo.

[Intro]
A   Am7   C   D  Dm  E  Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
A           Am7   C             D
I watched a bird, caught yester-day,
Dm            E          Am
Poor bird had no time to run.
D           Dm              A
Crept up on him, fresh easy prey,
    Amaj7          Am7          Esus4   E
The cats out there still having fun.
 
 
[Verse 2]
A         Am7    C            D
I saw the bird , couldn’t get free,
Dm            E           Am
Caught by the cats deadly claws.
D             Dm                 A
Should I have heard, nearly dead bird,
Amaj7       Am7           Esus4   E
Help him es-cape from the jaws.
 
 
[Refrain 1]
A           Am7
Don’t you a-gree,
D                        A
All have the right to be free.
     A            Am7
It’s natural, you see,
D                    A
Nature is Queen over me.
     C         D          A
Only one above nature for me.
 
 
[Verse 3]
A          Am7      C             D
When I was young, a-lone peaceful-ly,
Dm             E         Am7
A nest holding eggs in a pine.
D          Dm                  A
Started to climb, evil pricked me,
Amaj7               Am7          Esus4    E
Crushed those eggs, scrambled in time.
 
 
[Refrain 2]
A                   Am7
My heart mourned in me,
D                          A
They had their right to be free.
    A              Am7
I’m natural that’s me,
D                    A
Nature is queen over me.
     C         D          A
Only one above nature for me.
 
 
[Coda]
     C         D          A
Only one above nature for me.
