Marry Me

	  		The actual recording is a bit higher than this, but I bumped it down a bit to make it  
easier to sing. So, 
you won't be able to play this along with the recording as is. I've also trimmed most of  
the Instrumental 
sections out, but they just use the same chord progressions as the rest of the song. 


Marry Me - Emilie Autumn 

F  C  Bb  C  F  C  Bb  C 

F            C                 Bb            C               F 
Marry me, he said, through his rotten teeth, bad breath, and then 
F           C            Bb              C             F 
Marry me instead of that strapping young goatherd, but when 
F            C           Bb         C 
I was in his bed, and my father had sold me 
  F                 C                 Bb              C 
I knew I hadn't any choice, hushed my voice, did what any girl would do and 

Bb         C         Dm          C 
When I'm beheaded at least I was wedded 
    Bb        C         Dm          C 
And when I am buried at least I was married 
     Bb        C           Dm         A 
I'll hide my behavior with wine as my savior 


     F   C    F         C           F 
But, oh, what beautiful things I'll wear 
C    F         C           F 
What beautiful dresses and hair 
C   F        C         F 
I'm lucky to share his bed 
C F              C            F 
Especially since I'll soon be dead 

F            C               Bb        C          F 
Marry me, he said, god, he's ugly, but fortune is ours 
F              C          Bb         C          F 
Running in the gardens enjoying men, women, and flowers 
F              C           Bb          C          F 
Then I break a glass and I slit my own innermost thigh 
F                C             Bb              C 
So that I can pretend that I'm menstru...well, unavailable 

   Bb         C              Dm          C 
My life is arranged but this union's deranged 
        Bb          C              Dm          C 
So I'll fuck who I choose for I've nothing to lose 
         Bb          C               Dm         A 
And when master's displeased I'll be down on my knees again 


     F   C    F         C           F 
But, oh, what beautiful things I'll wear 
C    F         C           F 
What beautiful dresses and hair 
C   F        C         F 
I'm lucky to share his bed 
C F              C            F 
Especially since I'll soon be dead 

     Bb        C         Dm           C 
When dining on peacock I know I won't swallow 
        Bb                 C              Dm             C 
Through balls, births, and bridge games I know what will follow 
      Bb         C             Dm              C 
We're coupled together through hell, hurt, and hunger 
   Bb         C           Dm            C 
Or at least until husband finds someone younger 
     Bb      C        Dm          C 
Yes, fertilization is part of my station 
  Bb          C           Dm    C 
I laugh as he drabs me in anticipation 
   Bb            C               Dm        C 
Of sons who will run things when I'm under covers 
    Bb             C              Dm          C 
But whose children are they? Why, mine and my lover's! 

     F   C    F         C           F 
But, oh, what beautiful things I'll wear 
C    F         C           F 
What beautiful dresses and hair 
C   F        C         F 
I'm lucky to share his bed 
C F              C            F 
Especially since I'll soon be dead 

C    F         C           F 
What beautiful things I'll wear 
C    F         C           F 
What beautiful dresses and hair 
C   F        C         F 
I'm lucky to share his bed 
C  F        C 
So why do I wish I was...
