D              A
When the great collector found her 
D              A
She was just a girl 
D                  A
She rang a chord inside him
       D         Bm     F#m           Em
And he stole her to the centre of his world 
     F#                Bm        G
Many wished they could be in her shoes 
        D               A               D
But she surely did know how to have the blues 

He tried to make a star of her 
She never did know why 
And though she could have told him 
There were some things that his money couldn't buy 
She never knew a way to refuse 
But she surely did know how to have the blues 

Chorus:

Em         F#m             G     F#m  Em
They say tomorrow's such a long, long time 

F#m        C#m          A
They say tomorrow never comes 

D        Bm               G     F#m Em
Whatever happened to this dream of mine 

D         Bm           Em   A
Count the days as they run 

He built himself a castle 
On a hill above a bay 
Where Marion the Châtelaine
Charmed every single one who came to stay 
Some never knew, while others read the clues 
That she surely did know how to have the blues 

Chorus 

When all the parties ended 
In the castle on the hill 
The paintings and the statues stood alone 
And all the corridors grew still 
She got caught between the shadows and the booze 
And she surely did know how to have the blues
