Cleopatra Ukulele Tutorial

G
I was Cleopatra,
G
I was young and an actress
G
When you knelt by my mattress,
D
and asked for my hand
G
But I was sad you asked it,
G
as I laid in a black dress
G
With my father in a casket,
D
I had no plans, yeah

G
And I left the footprints,
C G
the mud stain on the carpet
G
And it hardened like
D
my heart did when you left town
G
But I must admit it,
C G
that I would marry you in an instant
G
Damn your wife,
G
I’d be your mistress
D
just to have you around

G
But I was late for this,
C G
late for that,
C G D
late for the love of my life
G
And when I die alone,
C G
when I die alone,
G D
die I’ll be on time

G
While the church discouraged,
C G
any lust that burned within me
G
Yes my flesh, it was my currency,
D
but I held true
G
So I drive a taxi,
C G
and the traffic distracts me
C G
From the strangers in my backseat,
D
they remind me of you

G
But I was late for this,
C G
late for that,
C G D
late for the love of my life
G
And when I die alone,
C G
when I die alone,
G D
die I’ll be on time

Em G
And the only gifts from my Lord
C D Em
were a birth and a divorce
G
But I’ve read this script
Em
and the costume fits,
C D G
so I’ll play my part

G
I was Cleopatra,
C G
I was taller than the rafters
G
But that’s all in the past love,
D
gone with the wind
G
Now a nurse in white shoes
C G
leads me back to my guestroom
C G
It’s a bed and a bathroom
D
And a place for the end

G
I won’t be late for this,
C G
late for that,
C G D
late for the love of my life
G
And when I die alone,
C G
when I die alone,
C G D
when i die I’ll be on time, ah
