East Coast Queen

[Intro ]
C  G  C 


[Verso 1]
 
C 
On the east coast she's living... 
                  G 
Like a queen by a throne. 
           G7 
And when I drive there... 
               G           C 
I drive to the places she goes. 
                 F                      C           F 
The boys on the island, the men at the docks... 
                 C                            G 
Say "Give her my pleas, if she comes back to me 
                        C 
She'll get anything she wants". 
 


[Verso 2]
 
C 
She was my dear Mary... 
                  G7 
But I lost her in May. 
               G 
She told me it hurt her, 
                                C 
To know the words she'd have to say. 
                      F                             C          F 
Like "The world is so funny, and our love it ain't real... 
                            C                          G 
You got the passion in your head but it's not in this bed 
                         C 
It's just a way we can't feel". 
 


[Verso 3]
 
C 
Oh, but I can't stop thinking... 
                       G 
No, nothing ever slows down. 
            G7 
If I didn't love her, 
     G                   C 
Then why is she always around? 
                      F                               C         F 
When I wake up in the morning, to when the lights go out... 
                  C                      G 
She's there in my head, I'm alone in my bed 
                 C 
She's off on the town. 
 


[Verso 4]
 
C 
When I got home this evening... 
                       G 
There was a note on my door. 
                  G7 
It read "You poor soul, 
                        G      C 
You better not think of me anymore. 
                     F                            C          F 
Well I know you been tracking, my each and every move... 
               C                          G 
But baby we're done, there's no dance no song 
                       C 
I'm just a someone you knew". 
 


[Verso 5]
 
C 
Please help me, dear doctor... 
                         G 
Tell me what it is I can do. 
               G7 
I want to live healthy, 
                   G           C 
Is there something that I can use? 
                     F                     C           F 
Well this happened before, and she was my nurse... 
                C                         G 
She asked me my name, she helped with my pain 
              C 
But now it is worse. 
                                         G 
She asked me my name, she helped with my pain 
              F                  C 
But now it is wor-se......
