[Am]Divorced
Beheaded
Died
[Am]Divorced
Beheaded
Survived
And tonight, ... we are [Am]Live!

[Verse 1]
[Am]Listen up, let me tell you a story
[C]A story that you think you've heard before
We [F]know you know our names
and our fame and our faces
Know [Dm]all about the glories and the disgraces
[Am]I'm done 'cause all this time
I've been [C]just one word in a stupid rhyme
So I [F]picked up a pen and a microphone
[Dm]History's about to get overthrown

[Pre-chorus 1]
Di[Am]vorced
Beheaded
Died
Divorced
Beheaded
Survived
But just for you tonight

[Chorus 1]
We're divorced, beheaded, live!
[F]Welcome to the show, to the [G]histo-remix
[Am]Switching up the flow,
as we add the pre[Em]fix[Am]
[G]Everybody knows
that we used to be [Dm]six w[Em]ives[D]
[F]Raising up the roof, 'til we hit the ceiling
[G]Get rea[Am]dy for the truth
that we'll be revealing
[G]Everybody knows that
we used to be [Dm]six [Em]wives[D][F][E]

[Interlude 1]
But now we're ex-wives
[Am][C][F][E]

[Verse 2]
[Am]All you ever hear and read about
[C]Is our ex and the way it ended
But a [F]pair doesn't beat a royal flush
You're [Dm]gonna find out
how we got unfriended
[Am]Tonight we're gonna do ourselves justice
[C]'Cause we're taking you to court
[F]Every Tudor rose has its thorns
And you're [Dm]gonna hear 'em live in consort

[Pre-chorus 2]
Di[Am]vorced
Beheaded
Died
Divorced
Beheaded
Survived
But just for you tonight

[Chorus 2]
We're divorced, beheaded, live!
[F]Welcome to the show, to the [G]histo-remix
[Am]Switching up the flow,
as we add the pre[Em]fix[Am]
[G]Everybody knows
that we used to be [Dm]six w[Em]ives[D]
[F]Dancing to the beat 'til the break of day
[G]Once we're [Am]done, we'll start again
Like it's the Renaissance
[G]Everybody knows that
we used to be [Dm]six [Em]wives[D][F][E]
But now we're ex-wives

[Bridge 1]
(Di[Am]vorced)
My name's Catherine Of Aragon
Was married [C]24 years
I'm a paragon of [F]royalty,
my loyalty is to the Vatican
So [Dm]if you try to dump me
You won't try that again
(Be[Am]headed)
I'm that Boleyn girl
And I'm up [C]next
See, I broke England from the Church
Yeah, I'm that [F]sexy
Why did I lose my head?
Well, my [Dm]sleeves may be green
But my lipstick's red!
[Am](Died) Jane Seymour,
the only one he truly [C]loved (rude)
When my son was newly [F]born, I died
But I'm not what I seem
Or am [Dm]I?
Stick around, and you'll suddenly see more
(Di[Am]vorced)
Ich bin Anna of Cleves (Ja)
[C]When he saw my portrait he was like Ja!
But I [F]didn't look as good as I [Dm]did in my pic
[Dm]Funny how we all discuss that,
but never Henry's little
[Am]Prick up your ears, I'm the Katherine
who lost her head (Beheaded)
[C]For my promiscuity outside of wed
[F]Lock up your husbands, lock up your sons
K [Dm]Howard is here, and the fun's begun
(Sur[Am]vived) Five down, I'm the final wife
[C]I saw him to the end of his life
[F]I'm the survivor, Catherine Parr
I [D]bet you wanna know how I got this far
I said, I bet you wanna know
how we got this far
Do you wanna know how we got this [E]far?

[Chorus 3]
Then [F]welcome to the show,
to the [G]histo-remix
[Am]Switching up the flow,
as we add the pre[Em]fix[Am]
[G]Everybody knows
that we used to be [Dm]six w[Em]ives[D]
[F]Get your hands up, get this party buzzing
[G]You wan[Am]t a queen bee,
well there's half a dozen
[G]Everybody knows that
we used to be [Dm]six [Em]wives[D]
[F][E]

[Outro 1]
But now we're ex-wives
[Am][C][F][E]
[Am][C][F][E][Am][C]
[Dm]One, [Em]two, [F]three, [G]four, [E]five... SIX
