[Verse 1]
[C]They cal[Am]led me Margaretha

[C]s called [Am]me H2[G]1
In the [Am]circuses and palaces,
a [F]hundred names I've borne
From the [C]Belle of the Epoque,
[G]to eye of the storm
[Am]But if anybody asks,
I [D]named my[G]self after the [C]sun
I was a [F]teach[Am]er wh[G]en I was

They wouldn't have listened
[D]any[F#dim]way
[D]Too many men[E] had died,
and [Am]somebody [F]had to pay
They set a date for my
