[Intro]
| F  Dm   | F      | x4
 
[Verse 1]
      G                     F   Dm
You'd rather have wine than gin
    G                       F    Dm
And only the finest by your skin
F
Always running after time
Bb
Catching your fancy with rhyme
               A           Ab   G  N.C.
Shining on the front page again
 
[Chorus]
           C                    F            C    Dm
Now you're hot on the presses today - little queen
F               Dm                C   Dm  N.C.
Making your passion play - little queen
Bb                  Gm          F Dm   F
Nobody knows your melancholy mi-ind -
         F  Dm   F
Little queen
 
[Verse 2]
 G                                    F  Dm
Away from the sellers, the papers said
     G                            F        Dm
Your crown was tight and heavy on your head
    F
But still you danced and you sang -
    Bb
All night the telephone rang
                  A                 Ab  G  N.C.
And music kept on playing from your pen.
 
[Chorus]
           C                    F            C    Dm
Now you're hot on the presses today - little queen
F              Dm                 C   Dm  N.C.
Making your passion play - little queen
Bb                   Gm         F Dm   F
Nobody knows your melancholy mi-ind -
         F    Dm   F
Little queen, yeah
         F    Dm   F
Little queen, yeah
         F    Dm   F
Little queen, yeah
          Dm
Little queen

[Verse 3]
           G                             F    Dm
Now you're slipping away with your gypsy band
           G                                        F   Dm
And you're hot on your music and playing a winning hand
         F
You were standing in the line
Bb
Thinking how you moved his mind
                    A               Ab   G  N.C.
And feeling like he held you in his hand
 
[Chorus]
           C                    F            C    Dm
And you're hot on the presses today - little queen
F              Dm                 C       Dm  N.C.
Making your passion play - little queen, yeah
Bb                  Gm          F Dm   F
Nobody knows your melancholy mi-ind -
         F    Dm   F
Little queen, yeah
         F    Dm   F
Little queen, yeah
         F    Dm   F
Little queen, yeah
           F   Dm            F
Little queen      in the magazine
