Em
Do you mean it
Do you mean it
            D
Do you mean it
G                  G#
Why don't you mean it
 Am
Why do I follow you and where do you go

B  D  F  G           B
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
        G
You've never seen nothing like it
No never in your life
     E/G#
Like going up to heaven
          Am
And then coming back alive
Let me tell you all about it
(And the world will so allow it)
      C                D
Oooh give me a little time to choose
 G
Water babies singing in a lily-pool delight
      E/G#            Am
Blue powder monkeys praying in the dead of night
Am              Am/G#        Am/G         Am/F#
Here comes the Black Queen, poking in the pile
Am          Am/G#         Am/G           Am/F#
Fie-fo the black queen, marching single file
F        G           C        A#      Am  G
Take this, take that, bring them down to size
G
(March to the Black Queen)

Am
Put them in the cellar with the naughty boys
A little bit sugar then a rub-a dub-a baby oil
Black on, black on, every finger nail and toe
We've only begun - begun
F        G         C             A#   Am   G
Make this make that, keep making all that noise
 G
Oooh march to the Black Queen
 C
Now I've got a belly-full
 G
You can be my sugar-baby
 Am                   Dm
You can be my honey-chile, yes

   F            A#        F
A voice from behind me reminds me
   Gm            C7              F
Spread out your wings you are an angel
    F          C               Dm      A
Remember to deliver with the speed of light
A         Dm     A#6 Am7 G     C
A little bit of love      and joy
Cm                                              A#      D#
Everything you do bears a will and a why and a wherefore
Cm                       C/G
A little bit of love and joy

F                      A#      F
In each and every soul lies a man
          Gm          C7            F
And very soon he'll deceive and discover
F                  C       Dm
But even to the end of his life
A      Dm      A  Dm  A  Dm C F G Cm/G A# D#
He'll bring a little love

D# Cm G Am
Ah ah ah ah ah

Am
I reign with my left hand I rule with my right
I'm lord of all darkness I'm queen of the night

G
I've got the power now to do
    Am
The march of the Black Queen
My life is in your hands I'll fo and I'll fie
I'll be what you make me I'll do what you like

           G
I'll be a bad boy I'll be your bad boy
             Am                    D F
I'll do the march of the Black Queen
Am           C
Ah ah ah ah ah

Am
Walking true to style she's vulgar abuse and vile
The Black Queen tattoos all her pies
She boils and she bakes
         G
And she never dots her I's

             C                    G
Forget your sing-alongs and your lullabies
    Am
Surrender to the city of the fireflies
 Dm
Dance with the devil in beat with the band
    E
To hell with all of you hand-in-hand
     F        G          C               G    Am
But now it's time to be gone (la la la la) forever
Dm         E F G C
La la la la.
