[Verse 1]
Dmaj7 Am7
Bella was a beauty queen
Dmaj7 B7
One of a kind
Em A7 D G D D G D
She couldn't get ambition off her mind
Dmaj7 Am7
She entered every contest
Dmaj7 B7
from Redcar to Penzance
Em A7 D G D D G D
She entered anywhere she stood a chance
Dm7 G
Then one day, way down yonder
Dm7 E7
In Shanklin, Isle of Wight,
G#m E7 A D A A D A
She became a big name overnight
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A C#m
She was placed above the rest
G D
The winners sash across her breast
A C
She wept with joy, she kissed the crown
G Gm
She was the toast of her hometown
G#6 G#6 G# G#

[Verse 2]
Dmaj7 Am7
She posed for Sunday papers
Dmaj7 B7
wearing nothing but a smile
Em A7 D G D D G D
She took 'em off while putting on the style
Dmaj7 Am7
She soon became the sweetheart
Dmaj7 B7
of a playboy millionaire
Em A7 D G D D G D
Who bought her clothes and took her everywhere
Dm7 G
They were married in Las Vegas
Dm7 E7
She said solemnly "I do"
G#m E7 A D A A D A
amidst t.v. cameras and Yankee ballyhoo
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A C#m
Bella frequented the nightclub scene
G D
as befits an ex-beauty queen
A C
She took to drink while her playboy played
G Gm
And so it was their love decayed
G#6 G#6 G# G#

[Verse 3]
Dmaj7 Am7
Bella got a gun
Dmaj7 B7
Bella shot him dead
Em A7 D G D D G D
"He died instantly" the coroner said
Dmaj7 Am7
And so behind dark glasses
Dmaj7 B7
Bella hid her eyes
Em A7 D G D D G D
It's unsightly when a woman cries
Dm7 G
Just who was to blame
Dm7 E7
the press would soon find out
G#m E7 A D A A D A
But as it was, the jury had no doubt
[Pre-Chorus 3]
A C#m
The verdict was guilty, the judge had no choice
G D
He said "You get life" in a serious voice
A C
But Bella just laughed, and tearfully said,
G Gm
"Oh what a joke, I've always been dead!"
G#6 G#6 G# G#

Love is as shallow as people
C7 F
And as deep as the ocean
