QUEENS OF SORROW

As recorded by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy

(From the 2023 Album KEEPING SECRETS WILL DESTROY YOU)

[Intro]

C

[Verse 1]

C Dm
We are the queens of sorrow and we are what we rehearse

G7 C
We clean our conscience daily for our evils to disperse

Am
And our dresses don't have pockets and our hands carry no purse

F G7 C
We know that with possession comes the curse

[Verse 2]

C Dm
We aren't afraid of losing and we aren't afraid of dying

G7 C
Our shoes do not have laces so we don't waste time in tying

Am
And if we aren't incredible, it's not for want of trying

F G C
You'll only hear us giggling, never crying

[Chorus]

F G
We are queens of sorrow

C
Wear our crown, be our friend

F G C
Know that no tomorrow is the end

F G
On and on you echo

C Am
To the farthest, wildest wall

Dm G C
Yes, the light and dark surround us all

[Interlude]

C D G C

Am F G C

[Verse 3]

C Dm
Why then queens of sorrow and not monarchs of joy?
