[Intro – soft strummed acoustic guitar, quiet harmonica] Born in the summer of seventy-six In cold, windy Trondheim she open her eyes
[Verse 1 – clean electric arpeggios, steady brushed drums, man voice] Sweet dark beauty melting hearts Painting colours where the grey world starts Headed east with the world to see Met her Olee on her very first evening
[Verse 2 – warm organ enters, light bass line, women voice] Half a world away beneath bright skies Still Moss was calling all the time From hospital halls to leading the floor The same warm heart she had before
[Pre-Chorus – drums lift, harmonies rise, beautiful man voice on the “fifty years and still a blast, raising voice,] Fifty years and still a blast, warm at heart and built to last
[Chorus – full band, warm backing vocals] Oh Queen Elizabeth Maeeurtuva, Lillæ Korseææ, Sheriff of Wang, Ole's only queen, Everybody knows that name [Chorus] Oh Queen Elizabeth Hands that paint, hands that heal, Never once said no when you needed her, Fifty years and still a blast (sad, tone it down on the last “fifty years and still a blast)
[Interlude – gentle harmonica solo]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Verse 3 – stripped back acoustic only] Built her castle one brick at a time Watched Marcus grow from boy to man Maya, she raised up to the mountain, Somehow keeping everyone in line
[Bridge – soft piano, quiet tender tone] Steady when the world fell hard Held her mother through the dark Reliable, calm, always right there Only thing she ever loses are her keys and her phone
[Ad-lib – playful light tone, little corny] ...and sometimes her glasses too
[Final Chorus – full band, joyful lifted energy] Oh Queen Elizabeth Maeurtuva, Lillæ Korsææ Sheriff of Wang, Ole's only queen Fifty years and still a blast
[Outro – fading acoustic guitar, soft, sad, serious women voice, harmonica] Still the same girl that came east Still the queen of every heart [Intro – soft strummed acoustic, quiet harmonica] [Intro – soft strummed acoustic, quiet harmonica]
