[D][A][Bm][A][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
I [D]knew
this colorful woman [Bm]once
[G]She drank and had a
roving [D]eye
In the morning she was always [Bm]mournful
[G]She'd cry and apologiz[D]e
[G]But she'd always repeat hersel[D]f
Find [G]comfort with a stranger [A]and sing
She nev[D]er [A]took much no[Bm]tice
In the [G]courtesy [A]of kin[D]g

[Verse 2]
She had [D]pictures of Cuban artist[Bm]s
And [G]paintings from Rotterdam
[D]Promises tha[Bm]t she made
She [G]never could stay true [D]to them
[G]She said she loved me so deeply
[D]Then she[G]'d spit in my face
[A]and scream[F#m][A]
And she [D]never [A]took much no[Bm]tice
In the [G]courtesy [A]of kin[D]gs

[Verse 3]
She had [D]the face of an an[Bm]gel
[G]And a smile no one could [D]deny
But the heart of a dev[Bm]il
[G]Beat deep down in her in[D]side
[G]She spoke of judgment and forgiv[D]eness
Her [G]other lovers didn't
mean [A]a thing[F#m][A]
She nev[D]er [A]took much no[Bm]tice
In the [G]cour[A]tesy of [D]kings

[A][D][A][Bm]
[A]par[G]ted[A] in[D] the middle of nowhere
[Bm]I haven't seen[G] her since then[D]
She always kept my mind [Bm]busy
[G]She made her lies seem like a hym[D]n
[G]Sometimes I wonder if I'd see her[D]
[G]If I would still recogniz[A]e
[D]Or just remem[A]ber her
as [Bm]a dream
And respect [D]her [A]for the love
she [Bm]used to bring
If [D]I c[A]ould show h[Bm]er
[G]The courtesy [A]of kings
