G             D      G             C
Death valley queen where have you been
             G             Em 
Since they crowned you in glory
        G              D 
Filled your head with dreams
        G             D             G 
But it still goes to show in every desert
           C              G         D         G 
There's a rose that's blooming for all to be seen
               D              G 
I remember you well from that town
         C             G          Em 
You did dwell with the face of an angel
       G          D 
In a dump hot as hell 
         G           D
When I asked for a kiss
      G         C 
You kindly dismissed
       G           D             G
So i lead my poor heart to the slaughter
 D      G      C          D
Tell me dear what did you fear
                 G             C          D 
I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin
G                C         G         C 
So death valley queen go marry your king
      G               D            G 
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain 


[Verse 2]

G         D         G        C
Off I did set on my trail of regret 
        G              Em          G          D
Where I thought of you now in your castle and crown 
     G          D            G              C
So I found me a whore with a face just like yours 
      G       D          G
After several gallons of porter
       D          G                   C
When I awoke, she had scarpered I was broke 
       G           Em         G           D
Laying cold in the bed with a whale for a head 
G                C         G         C
So death valley queen go marry your king
      G               D            G
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain 


[Chorus]

           D     G           C         G         D
Then the ball dropped why everything fell by the way
          D   G           C                 D
As your teardrops were falling I forgot to say 
     G        D          G
That I have always loved you
     G       C           G 
Yeah I have always loved you
     G  D  G C
Yeah I 
     G
Yeah I
         C 
I have always loved you 


[Verse 3]

G         D         G        C
When I returned downtrodden and burned
             G             Em
There were billy goats grazing
      G              D
Where once you'd be found 
     G           D
So I hung out to dry 
        G          C
On this limb for a lie 
        G            D             G 
Take me back for I'm cursed on the mainland 
 D      G      C          D
Tell me dear what did you fear 
                 G             C          D 
I'd do you no wrong though no stranger to sin 
G                C         G         C 
So death valley queen go marry your king
      G               D            G
Or an old maid you'll end up for certain 
       G                C         G         C 
I said death valley queen go marry your king 
    G             D            G
And a-roving I'll end up for certain
