"Chelsea Monday"

by Marillion

[Am] [Bb] [Gm]

Catalogue princess, ap[Am]prentice seductress

hiding in her [Gm] cellophane world in glitter town.

Awaiting the prince in het [Am] white Capri

dynamic young tarzan [Gm] courts the bedsit queen.

She's playing the actress in this [Am] bedroom scene,

she's learning her lines from glossy [Gm] magazines.

Stringing all her pearls from her [Am] childhood dreams,

auditioning for the leading role on the [Gm] silver screen.

Patience my tinsel [Am] angel.

Patience my perfumed [Gm] child.

One [Dm] day they'll really [Am] love you.

You will [Bb] charm them with that [Gm] smile.

But for [Dm] now [Am] [Bb] [Gm]

It's just another Chelsea [Dm] Monday [Am] [Bb] [Gm]

Chelsea [Em] Monday! [D] [C] [Am].

(solo part:) [Em] [D] [C] [Am] (lots of times)

[Am] [Bb] [Gm]

Drifting with her [Am] incense in the

labyrinth of [Gm] London.

Playing games with [Am] faces in the

neon wonderland [Gm].

Per[Dm]form to scattered [Am] shadows on the

shattered cobbled [Gm] aisles.

Would she [Dm] dare recite so[Am]liloquies at the

risk of stark ap[Gm]plause?

[D] [C] [Am]

To Chelsea [Em] Monday. [D] [C] [Am]

She'll [Em] pray for endless [D] Sundays,

as she [C] enters saffron [Am] sunsets.

Conjure phantom [D] lovers from the

tattered shreds of [Am] dawn.

Ful[Em]filled and yet for[D]gotten

the [C] St Tropez mi[Am]rage.

Fragrant aphro[D]disiac,

the [C] withered tube[Am]rose.

[A] [F#m] [C#m] [E] [C#m] [B] [Ebdim] [B] [G] [Em] (2x)

Patience my tin[A]sel [F#m] angel.

Patience my per[E]fumed [C#m] child.

One [B] day they'll real[Ebdim]ly [B] love you.

You will [G] charm them with that [Em] smile.

But for [F#m] now [A] [F#m] [C#m] [E] [C#m]

It's just another [B] Chelsea Monday [Ebdim] [B] [G] [Em] Sweet Chelsea

Monday! [A] [F#m] [Bsus4] [B] [Dm] [F] [Dm] [Em] [G]

Catalogue princ[A]ess, ap[F#m]prentice seductress

buried in [E] her [C#m] cellophane world in

glitter town. [Ebdim] [B] [G] [Em]
